The Swiftian connection indeed clear here, but poor folks have been selling
their blood for decades, women have been selling their hair for even longer,
prostitutes have been selling their bodies more or less forever, and
virtually all of us sell, or rent, ourselves to our employers, so one more
ingenious means of exploiting the exploitable is mere piling on by now.
Wouldn't much of this milk come from relatively affluent women who don't
breast feed anyway? And why would human breast milk be uniquely healthy
once it is put to commercial use? I would suspect the pasteurization and
refinement of the product to make it safe for all would destroy many of its
uniquely beneficial properties. I'm still waiting for the implementation of
the proposal that I read about in Fast Company at the height of the
dot.comboom and during the heyday of Enron: The commodification of the
individual
by allowing her or him to to sell shares in themselves. It's bound to
happen.
