Dear Friends:
    What's wrong with paying women for their milk, as  long as HMBANA 
guidelines are followed? 
    Blood donors aren't paid  anymore because  alcoholics and drug abusers 
would give blood to get money to buy more  drugs. Yuk! Blood can't be 
pasteurized, so is always a bit risky. Semen can't be  pasteurized either, and is a bit 
risky for that reason.
    Human milk is screened at three levels: the mother  is screened by 
history, by blood testing, and then the milk is cultured and  pasteurized. I wish 
donor blood could be as safe to receive as donor milk.
    So what's wrong with paying women?
    warmly,
