What do fetishists, babies and cancer patients all have in common? They are all likely targets of mother marketing their own breast milk. And market it they will! There are even milk banks that collect breast milk and sell it at cut throat prices. Yes, cash-hungry moms can earn up to $3 an ounce Of course, there is definitely a downside. Breast milk can transmit all sorts of nasty toxins and diseases including HIV and doctors warn that non-nursing moms considering the route of buying breast milk familiarize themselves with the unique health risks to babies fed purchased or donated breast milk. While the idea of mothers donating their breast milk to help those less fortunate is somewhat understandable and maybe even admirable, the thought of mothers cashing in this way is highly unpalatable.  ... there are a number of gullible mammary-impaired women out there plopping down huge bucks for a stranger’s milk. As selling breast milk is technically a black-market affair (there are milk banks that require prescriptions and collect something like $3.25 an ounce), she might want to be discreet about it.
While it may be the case that some people get off on drinking, having, playing with, making popsicles, etc., out of breast milk, it is also the case that people with cancer appear to be able to derive benefits from drinking it. It seems to be the case that breast milk, which carries antibodies and all sorts of other good things (which is why, of course, it’s good for babies), can similarly be of genuine benefit to folks who have compromised immune systems.
