The government should subsidize prostitution

The opening arguments of the debate reflected a very popular stream of statements that prevails among st the groups that advocate legalization of prostitution. Thus, I considered sharing two of the most important pieces of credible and objective studies on this aspect. Apparently, not only my arguments have been misunderstood, but Pro has quoted, from the sources I provided, material and put it out of context where it starts to look that I just pasted them off without any conviction in their conclusion. I stick to my sources. Encourages Innovation and Progress This is a false assumption. First, there is no major objective or subjective evidence that "people spend a lot of their time attempting to find someone to have sex with". Bonnie Ware - a famous blogger and a person who worked in palliative care - derives from her experience an article where she documents "Regrets of dying". This artcle is based on the data she collected from her patients. (http://www.inspirationandchai.com...) Among the top five regrets, there is no mention of "I wish I had more sex". People don't keep looking for sex. They keep looking for companionship and both are not same. Secondly, sex is neither a motivator for innovation nor a basic need. Inquisitiveness is. Reduce Depression It is the other way around. Depression leads to lack of sex. Sex does not cause depression unless you're so addicted to it that you're able to express relationships only one way - Sex. Then, of course it can and will lead to depression but this is an exception. World doesn't work like this. Anyways, even if it is in some possible way capable of causing depression, prostitution is certainly not the only way out. Reduce Sexual Assault On the contrary, sex crimes increase. It would be a little more than a blind assumption in arguing that legalizing prostitution will reduce crimes. Refer to the case study of Australia where, people started to be more violent on prostitutes as after legalization they felt that it is OK to do so or also to the studies of strip clubs in Nevada, Netherlands and Australia where, people penetrated strippers with different metallic objects, including a phone. It is preposterous to assume that legalizing prostitution will stop Illegal prostitution. Both will grow. I quote - "Nevada"s women are raped at rates that are twice that of New York and a fourth higher than the U.S. average. Women are three times as likely to be raped in Las Vegas as compared to New York City". Reduce Unemployment Prostitution is not a career option. Hardly anyone becomes a sex worker by choice. The inevitability of a person's situation forces them to sell their sex organs. I don't find the argument even remotely sensible. I quote - "In Germany the service union ver.di offered union membership to Germany's sex workers. They would have been be entitled to health care, legal aid, thirty paid holiday days a year, a five-day workweek, and Christmas and holiday bonuses. Out of an estimated 400,000 sex workers, only 100 joined the union." Prostitute Safety People becomes prostitutes not because they want to but they don't see any other way out for earning money. Most of these people are poor and they cannot make ends meet. Legalizing prostitution won't get wash away pimps and brothels because there cannot be a law restricting an activity in group but, allows it on a one-on-one basis. If we increase the scope of prostitution and enforce rules governing its trade on a limited basis, individually and not as a firm, with prerequisites of health checkups and a hundred more, I feel it is easier to just into a relationship. If selling your sex organs was lawful, then human trafficking and selling other parts for money are no different. I also did not understand how the conclusion of the authors of above sources being biased in thinking about prostitution as a "morally wrong" was made. Nevertheless, I don't see any good it can do to a civilized socie
