No, because its cheaper to just pay workers than it is to pay people to keep the slaves in check (make sure they don't try to revolt). 

What if it weren't then? What if in the future there were this cheap technology/pill that controls/drugs a person into doing what you want, and you didn't need someone to keep them in check? Would you then embrace slavery?

More generally, is your position against slavery a purely economical one, or do you also think it's ethically wrong?

thats alot of iffing, and is highly logical. i'll go furthur then that. (watch closely)

lets say world war 3 happens nobody wins and every economic power fail's, but the gov is still very much intact with limited resources,and the one thing they have is an experimental chip that can reprogram minds, and all they have to do is activate it to take over the minds of every living being left on earth! its on some kind of wireless frequency that re-wires brain waves, and with one tiny tap of a butten ur a slave.

now stop with the hypotheticals unless you really want to test me? pills lol? that so 1960's! how old are you anyway? 890

Logical methods are the best way to approach situations. Besides, since slavery isn't exactly commonplace, hypotheticals are the only thing we can rely on for discussion purposes. Furthermore, I do not believe my example is not "too hypothetical" or otherwise worded that way.

As for your situation:

1. Such a chip is impossible. It's very easy to prove that.

2. What's the point? No question is asked in your situation.

3. I'll assume your question is: If I were in the position of power, would I press the button? The answer is: No. People who would answer Yes have mental issues.

i disagree. how is the manipulation of brain waves not possible when subliminal messages have been used in the past?maniputaltion of the brain can be based on wht you see, and whos to say the gov. dosen't have that tech? don't be blind and dismiss anything!

didin't need to ask a question with a hypothetical when its an example!

and to ur 3 of my 3. people with power are unpredictable and never should be underestimated. if companies had it there way they'd have you blindly work for no pay and if a pill, nanites, or the manipulation of brain waves was perfected or a logical way to get it done it would happen. leave nothing to chance kid.
