Or be adopted into a free family. That should work just as well. As long as a transfer of ownership is made from being in debt to not being in debt, then the transfer of debt is also taken care of
I think the point Russell is trying to make is that the whole system of slavery (as a metaphor for sin/guilt) is morally bankrupt.

As they say, the only way to win is to not play
