Dear Friends:
     Unfortunately, we can't trust what women have done for each other for
centuries anymore. We can't nurse each others' babies casually. Now we have
deadly viruses that did not exist, which can be transmitted through human milk.
     I would be very upset, if I were that mother.
     warmly,
