    i mean yeah, statistically, an already mined diamond is a child already dead. you would just stop new diamond mining, or move away from child consumptory diamond mining, you aren’t going to completely demolish every child diamond in existence though, there’s no point, harms already done. Might as well leave them in the market.

      But buying them funds the diamond miners to mine more. That’s the point.

      By participating in the market, you’re perpetuating blood diamonds.
