In the opening passage, the author describes the structure and social control that Amsterdam authorities have over prostitutes, as well as their medical checkups, certificates of operation, set prices, and retirement benefits. If such a structure were applied to prostitution in the U.S., with added features such as brothels only allowed in certain sections of certain cities, do you think it would find acceptance among the American people? Why or why not?

Answers will vary, but it is likely that many students will argue that Americans would continue to reject legalized prostitution. Reasons include the following:
(1) a strong rebuttal by feminists that prostitution degrades women;
(2) the inability for lawmakers to introduce legislation to legalize prostitution without ruining their political careers;
(3) strong Judeo-Christian mores;
(4) cultural tradition that associates prostitution with that which is undesirable.
