Regarding concern with the tone of this discussion, I hope I did not seem
too strident.  I support the idea of milk donation, but have a real problem
with that milk being donated to someone who will turn around a sell it for a
profit.  

Perhaps by quickly offering to supply free milk in the situation we are
discussing, Prolacta is taking advantage of the limitations of the HMBANA
banks?  If HMBANA banks generally require some paper work and look to the
recipient family for at least partial payment, Prolacta can make itself seem
pretty fantastic if it can gift the milk with virutally no fuss. Pretty
painless PR for a company that profits by selling a highly marked-up product
to hospitals.

I *truly* regret that this discussion is raining on the parade that we
should be having over Barbara's outstanding and successful advocacy for this
baby.
