We can talk about healthy donors and screening but my 
fear comes from the same one I tell moms who are 
borrowing pumps.  We may know the donor is someone who 
has a clean bill of health by todays standards but 
remember in the 1970's (when I was a teenager) that HIV 
was in the blood / milk supply and no one knew it yet 
until people started dying.  There could be a virus that 
is circulating that has not be recognized yet as a public 
health threat, so I think that pasturazation is at least 
helping with some protection but dispite the risks of ABM 
I would be leary of the unknown.
