Ooh a possibly nuanced take on slavery!
Hahaha.
My country's history has an interesting record with that, I'm from the Philippines BTW. War slaves, debt slave, criminal slaves, hereditary slaves and there was a tiered system for all of them where the worst kinds were practically "pricey furniture" and the best treated were like "family heirlooms" in how they were valued. But the dumbest thing you could do was abuse and waste an indentured servant with constant beatings and malnurishment.
Oof went on a tangent there a bit. Anyway, just giving a different take on the human property issue done in another place, in another time and in another culture.
Owning people is not okay, m'kay.
