    I wouldn’t say sadly. Alowing human milk products to be sold would be risking a lot of infectious diseases to be spread.

          The closest analogue we normally have is a wet nurse, and most people don’t like that idea. How would you feel if your mother/sister/daughter was one? Then make it worse, because there’s profit to be had by bottling it instead of just feeding someone else’s child. You don’t need to scale at all before it becomes a problem.

            If my mother/sister/daughter was a wet nurse, I’d have zero problems with it if they did it by their own choice. Same as if they were able to bottle and sell their own breastmilk for a couple extra bucks, kinda like how people are able to donate blood or plasma or semen for a little money sometimes.

            Provided it’s not being abused and they are not enslaved or abused into doing it, I don’t see a problem with it

            Edit: also that the milk went through a proper pasteurization process to ensure safety to anyone who was buying it

        Right, but pasturized doesn’t mean 100% sterile. Thats ok, because diseases don’t spread as much across different species. Most cow diseases don’t affect humans. But with milk produced by the same animal that consumes it that’s a different case.
