First off it a boy thinks he "owns" his girlfriend or a husband owning his wife, then that tagets a gender group, if one race tagets another race then that likewise seems immoral relative to standards of equality.
Equality can be viewed as a standard of morality when it comes to ownership. We do not think we are equal to cars or animals. But to think that about other human beings is somewhat silly if not flat out wrong.

And I am not sure if "morality" is the only standard to concider, but this is your topic.

Jimi Hendrix (black artist) sang in his song 'are you experienced' the following words. "Who are you in your little world to think you are made out of gold and cannot be bought or sold". But selling out to gain material security is different then being forced to slave away without consent. But..... By what right or auhtority do we claim that we are so worthy that we should be above the likes of being a slave?

(I am sort of debating myself to get a two sided perspective).

But making slavery legal would only lead to abuses, pain and suffering, for those who per-chance fall victim of the slave masters. To advocate legal abuse is not good morality.

However at my age I might be forced to become 'buy-sexual". Got any for sale? (oops, I said a no no.... but it was only a joke... honest.)
