Ok so i was just surfing around and stumbled across a few articles of women selling their breast milk...
I am aware this is more heard of in America than in Britain. There is a website www.onlythebreast.com where you can buy and sell the stuff.
I dont know what my views are on this one, its an intimate bodily fluid i guess but we will happily drink milk from a cow or goat who walks around in a field all day and think nothing of it but the idea of drinking another human's milk is so taboo.....I try to be an open minded person but i just dont know if i could bring myself to do it.
I guess it has its place i.e milk donation for premmie's but would you feed your baby another woman's milk if you couldn't? Would you prefer annoyomous donations/buy it from 'reputable' sources/ family member?
What got me was there are a few articles out there of men buying the stuff......god only knows what for! Also an ice cream parlour in London selling a bowl of human ice cream for £14.
So whats your views on this?
