I'd like to say yes, but I suppose it would depend on a lot of things, such as the health checks for the mothers expressing the breastmilk - like with blood donors, you'd need a lot of checks and was this done every week/month that the mother was giving the EBM, or just once and you hoped her situation didn't change? With giving blood it's every time, but you only give that every 3-4 months. I'd prefer to give my baby breastmilk, just not breastmilk with HIV in or something like that - I know, it's a bit doomy, but it is a fact and I'm not sure how much I'd trust the screening.
However, if someone I knew couldn't breastfeed and I could, I'd happily express some for them, so I'd happily sign up and donate, just not sure about receiving.
