That's great, especially since the HIV and Hep B viruses are both transmissible in breast milk.
What jet fuel geniuses came up with that idea?

My guess would be the whackos at La Leche have something to do with this. I had the misfortune of staying at a hotel where there was a La Leche convention. What a weird bunch of militant boobie-milk advocates and their gelded menfolk they were.

Uh huh.
Which worked so well for people with hemophilia and sickle-cell in the 1980s, for diseases no one knew about until they'd infected/killed a few tens of thousands of people.
This will end well.
Because there's such a critical shortage of lactating mothers. Wait, huh?

Aesop, if they screen the donors why would you care? Now, I don't think pasteurizing it is a good idea - babies are meant to digest intact breast milk protein, not denatured ones.
But, why not get a, tested, au pair, etc, and give her a shot to induce lactation?
