Definición de "chattel slavery"

In chattel slavery, the most common conception of slavery, one person is treated as the property of another person, providing slave labour from birth to death. This is not the most common relation in modern slavery. Capture of modern slaves is normally accomplished by deception or fraud - usually of the young, who are taken from family by slavers who offer them money and some promise or story that this represents advances on wages in some respectable job, or, simply kidnap the children. The slaves are usually not worked to death, but at some point usually escape or are released, often because they are of no further use. For instance, in Thailand, slave prostitutes are thrown onto the street as soon as they test positive for HIV - usually about three years after they are bought at the age of 13 or 14. Thus modern slaves are often called disposable people (see also economics of slavery section below).

Hay otros situciones de esclavos en que no nacen y mueren con la misma familia, sino que son secuestrados, comprados, etcétera.

Allí está la diferencia entre \"esclavitud\" o \"slavery\" en general, y \"chattel slavery\" o sea, \"esclavitud\" para la misma persona desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte
