Susan asks if there are, in fact, any laws out there prohibiting the sale of
human breastmilk by the expressing mother.
Australian legislation prohibits the sale of any human tissue (and human
milk meets the definition). Blood donors cannot be paid. Organ donors
cannot be paid. Ova donors cannot be paid. Sperm donors cannot be paid.
Milk donors cannot be paid.
