Line up for the Milking Machine

[nuvistors]

Héma-Québec may soon be storing human breast milk for babies born prematurely to mothers who can’t breastfeed.

Quebec health minister Réjean Hébert wants the National Assembly to give the province’s blood and tissue bank the green light on the project.

Héma-Québec president Dr. Jean De Serres said that of the 1,000 or so premature babies born in Quebec every year, between three and 10 die.

He and Hébert think creating a breast milk bank will help save some of those lives, as well as improve the chances of babies born with complications, particularly those born before 32 weeks.

De Serres said breast milk would be available to any premature baby whose mother couldn’t breastfeed.

“We don’t care what the reason is. If the baby needs it, then we will provide it,” he said.

If the project is approved, the province will be looking for 260 volunteer mothers to donate their extra milk.

"Line up for the milking machine"

Your joking right?? thats degrading women. Milking machine??????:|

My Iroquois culture ranks women high,with a great respect for women.

True traditional Iroquois do not see breasts as a sexual object,but as a giver of life.

 Its unfortunate your religion saw(still continues today) breasts and exposing breasts when breast feeding as dirty. Sad!!!

The single most important nourishment for newborns.

It is the commercialization of breast milk that is degrading

I take it the non traditional Iroquois consider them sexual objects.

As a breast traditionalist i give a big thank you to all women, Iroquois or not.

They are asking for volunteers to donate the milk. Not to buy it.

Do you feel the same way about blood and organ donors?

I just have one question, where do I apply to help?

:^O Deacon.

Didn't Carlin mention one time "To heck with donating, lets rent out our organs. "

He may have said that, sounds like something he would say.

I just read the article and thought to myself that I have helped on dairy farms around here when people have gone away for a day or so and although my experience is limited in the dairy industry, I felt it was still my civic duty to offer my help.

Just remembered........Carlin called it a 'gateway drug'.
