Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
....to someone they found on the internet.
She could not donate her breastmilk to a milk bank b/c of certain medications she was on. SOOOOO her and her husband found someone willing to pay them $400 for her stored milk.
The catch?? He was using it for perverted reasons. We still don't know exactly what but you can use your imagination 
The worst part...they drove the milk to this guys house, met him WHILE THEIR LITTLE GIRLS WERE IN THE CAR. He wanted to propose to give them an extra $500 cash to "drink from the tap" if you get my drift. THANKFULLY they didn't do that.
We are all digusted by this. Their theory is that it would have been thrown out anyway...why not make $$? Our thoughts are that it goes against pretty much all of what breastfeeding stands for. I didn't BF and am truly disgusted. Talk about using it for something completely opposite of its purpose.
My friend and her DH are NOT speaking to the SIL and BIL currently. It caused a big moral debate...
Just wanted to see your thoughts!!

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
I think that if they had the opportunity to sell to someone who would use it for a baby, but took a higher offer of an extra $25 to sell to this guy I'd have an issue. If there was noone who wanted to use it to feed a baby then who cares I'm sure they could use the money -- although I would have send dad alone to do the delivery.

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
There sadly is a market out there for pervs who want to buy breastmilk. I guess it's a sick fetish.
I guess my hang up comes from the fact that they do NOT need the $$...aren't there better ways of earning $400 if you really need it?
The thought of some perv using my milk for his own sick fantasy is just gross.

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
I personally think that is absolutely revolting. I didn't BF either, but I can't imagine being that desperate for money to sell my milk to some freak.
I mean, to each their own. But, I think it says a lot about someones character. It's just nasty!!!!

The odd thing is that I met this couple before..nice people and all, I guess they just don't see the big deal. Maybe there isn't one....they are contemplating doing it again with the rest of the frozen milk.
I am tempted to fill bags with regular old skim milk and sell it...extra christmas cash, lol! JK of course!

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
They knew he was doing for sick reasons? ewwww.. Today in paper there is a woman who took out an article selling her BM 100oz for best offer. My dad told me today, im like how do you know what that person has been doing all this time, what is in it, and if it truley is BM.
I couldnt sell my BM for $$ , seems weird to me, but if someone else wants to then all good for them

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
This is the strangest thing I have heard.
I have BF both my DDs and take it seriously. However as freaky as this sounds at the end of the day no one is getting hurt and if the $400 helps there family then I think its ok. The milk would have just gone in the garbage anyway. But I think it is odd that they took the kids to drop it off, the Dad should have gone alone for that one.

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
OK if you had said they sold it to someone who needed it I may have been OK with it although it would have been nicer to donate it but then when they willingly sold it to man for perverted reasons...ACK .
Are they that desperate for money? I guess it's better than selling drugs but still.

No, they are not desperate at all. It's just extra cash to them. That is why we were so grossed out. If this was a family that REALLY needed it to get the bills paid this month i'd feel differently. I'd STILL think there was a better way to earn $$ though..

It sounds like something in a Lifetime movie. Bad move delivering it as a family affair. But hey, whatever floats your boat

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
since the hosp rejected teh SIL's breastmilk because of certain meds she was on -- that's enough to not sell it! and to top it all off she sells it to a pervert?!!? heck! i don't know her and i wouldn't speak to her! this is absolutely against humanity! her bm is fueling this man's twisted intentions -- YUCK! what's wrong w this picture?!

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
The thought of this is revolting to me
There was an episode like this on CSI not too long ago that was even more disgusting, I'm still shocked they aired it. It was all about this man and his need to be a baby and hired a nanny and well....you get the idea.....apparently, there are people out there who do this sort of thing....

it's really sad what money drives some people to do...
of course, it's not illegal, but morally, something just ain't right.

ITA. I don't understand it, but to each their own.

Re: Tell me what you think about this..a friends SIL sold her breastmilk...
I guess I'm in the minority here. While I personally think it's gross to sell my hard pumped BM to some perv and they were incredibaly stupid for actually GOING to that guys house- I think that to get into a moral debate with someone about it is a bit much.
Different strokes for different folks I say. It's her BM- let her do with it what she wants.
I mean, I suppose I could get into a moral debate about women who choose to FF*, or get into a moral debate about women who choose to drink while nursing*. BUT- I don't because it's NONE of my business.....
*Just said to make a point

To each it's own. I could not sell my milk to a pervert though. It would repulse me.
So what's next? Maybe I can sell my peepee and poopoo to a pervert too. There might be a market for that.

I think their moral debate was because they KNEW what this guy would use it for...and contributing to someones perversion and profiting off of it, well i guess would be up for a moral debate to some. I know you said the feeding FF was to make a point...but TOTALLY Different!!!! That isn't a moral issue at all. That is a personal issue and is used to nourish and feed a child. Completely different.
