Can you make a proper argument not based on religion, to explain why prostitution is illegal?

You would think that people earning money with their body parts (given by God, if you want to be religious) on their terms, would be fine.

Many jobs have deadly implications. Mining, being in the military, and even sitting in front of a desk and staring at a screen all day.

Since we all know that prostitutes satisfy a global need, wouldn’t proper regulation lead to better health monitoring and safer job ethics?

@seyitaylor People already sell blood and sperm legally. We might not be far off. But no, chopping off body parts is a different scenario.

@SomaKudi Sure, why not. Professional surrogates get personal health regulation already don’t they? It should come with the ‘job’.

@mightytj007 Armed robbery infringes on other people’s rights and space. Not the same thing.

So what do you think? Is his argument convincing? What do you have to say on the topic?
