Valerie, you put your finger squarely on the problem with your latest post.
"If we acknowledge the intellectual property rights of these kind of patent
holders, we are accepting the morality that some men and some institutions
have the legal right to own human milk components and/or the genetic
blueprints of those components."
I am an IBCLC who shares your refusal to acknowledge the 'right' of anyone
to 'own' a 'patent' on life.
