"I also think that it is important to have good quality formula available to women who find themselves unable to nurse, for one reason or another." (Cricket)
Very good point Cricket. I'm complimenting my BFing with formula ATM and after reading Chloe's posted article "Suck on This" (I think it was called) I'm feeling very dubious about what's actually in the stuff as well.
If women were able to donate breast milk just as they donate blood (both life giving fluids if you think about it) and if the donated expressed breast milk (EBM) could be heat treated and powdered wouldn't that be fantastic?! However there has been a thread about "would you use donated breast milk?" (words to that effect) and I was surprised by the number of women who had a psychological barrier to using human milk as opposed to cows.
