Hi Wilmot,
How are you and the watoto (kids)?
Like you, I wondered about a number of things when I read about this
program. Would the borrower treat the borrowed person the way one would
tread any other borrowed item (e.g a book) from the library? Would the
borrower be responsible for the person? Could the borrower read the
person before bedtime, or during other intimate and very private
activities?
Whatever the answers, I see a lot of potential in this service.
Have a good day
