The concern is that we don't want poor people forced to sell parts of themselves to pay off their debts - it's a bit too Merchant of Venice. (I think it'd still be good policy, because I don't see how them not having the choice is any better, but that's the common concern)

Yeah, that. There's no way of getting money that's so ugly that some poor, desperate person somewhere won't try.
