That is actually very close to the original Irish words: uisce beatha (ish-kuh ba-ha), meaning “water of life”.
We already have slavery. It was never truly banned, just added the need to have been convicted of a crime. Ever wonder why the US has the world’s largest prisoner population (not just per capita) and why African Americans are disproportionately brought to trial and receive more severe sentences (especially in former CSA states)? Slavery is the reason.
