Dateline NBC: I saw your show on 10/20/97 and want to comment on Dennis Murphy's report, "Emma's Choice." He talked with Emma Cuevas, an Army blackhawk helicopter pilot, who wanted the Army to make some accomodations so that she could continue to breastfeed her baby. While I can appreciate the military's point of view, I also understand the Cuevas' fight for their child's rights. Your story did not even bring up the reams of compelling evidence showing that breastfeeding is far superior than artificial (formula) feeding. While many people are led to BELIEVE that breastfeeding and formula feeding are just the same, the fact is that THEY ARE NOT. Compare a 1-pound fetus incubating inside a healthy mother to a 1-pound fetus on life support in an NICU. Compare a successful kidney transplant recipient to a patient on thrice weekly dialysis. Then you will start to get the picture. I think that this evidence should have been shared and would have made for a much fairer story.
