Does the lactation community see problems with moms being compensated

One argument I've heard is that poor women might be tempted to sell their
milk instead of giving it to their own babies. Another is that women
might be exploited somehow, although I haven't exactly thought that
theory through.
Dear Friends:
Mothers that go through the three levels of screening (serology,
history, milk pasteurized and cultured) are expected to give their milk away. I
wonder about that; could it be a sign of how little human milk is valued?
The only country I know of that adds the value of human milk to its
Gross National Product is Norway.
Isn't this one more way that the contribution women make to the world is
made invisible?
