[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2514709, member: 30309"] No one has brought up the health issues of the woman doing this. In a post apocalyptic world where medicine and healthcare are non-existant, the risk of a simple infection or STD gets magnified 100 fold. There may be no antibiotics, no penicillin, no way to make a small contraction of disease go away. In the end, you have a sick person in the group who is now a liability and by proxy so are her kids, since the group now has to pick up the slack and take care of them. I won't even mention the horrible death the children would eventually witness. Something easily treated today like chlamydia becomes a killer in this scenario - never mind something like HIV that that the carrier might not even know they have. I'm not sure the short term benefits outweigh the long term drawbacks and lets face it, in a post apocalyptic world hygiene and illness disclosure will most likely not be at the top of the priority list for many people. The choice to 'trade' services for goods would be the absolute last option since the health risks are so high. If you don't have your health, you don't have anything. [/QUOTE]
