&gt;How is offering a previously non-existent option extortion, again?<p>Say I go to a third world country and find some orphan who has been left to fend for themself.  I make them an offer to effectively become a slave in return for being given basic care.  Say I do this in which ever country gives me the most power to in-debt them to me.  They can refuse and continue what ever life they were living.<p>Is this extortion or exploitation?
