The problem with paid suppliers of blood/organs and likewise breastmilk is that it is abused. Poverty causes people to give their kidneys, their blood, their milk.

I understand that I see things differently - how I see it is there is an energy in givimg - in helping another human being. That is actually how blood and organ donation work. It is the only way that breast milk banks will work well.

I didn't know until now that you also struggled with breastfeeding Trillian. I guess that is what discussion is about - throwing around opinions, thoughts, beliefs and ideas. Some we won't like, some we will. Some will resonate, some will strike a chord. Without open discussion though we learn little about other people and what makes them tick.

I would like to know more from Bathsheba on what she meant - or if she could enlarge on her comment. Maybe there is more to what she meant? I don't know of course. Just throwing it into the ring.

ABM is a great thing if you need to use it. But right now there is no choice. I am a lover of choice!

Big hugs Trillian...
