What an interesting case!  I don't think the woman's wanting to breastfeed is analagous to a father's wanting to do so.  She is not the father, she is the co-mother, and her breasts are also designed for providing nourishment to her offspring.  If simply having the baby suckle and using a pump aren't sufficient to induce milk production, and if you give full informed consent regarding medications and the mother is willing to accept risk vs benefit, I'd say go for it.
