Well not me, I a male. But i read this story of a girl with a young baby who gave some of her breast milk to her dad with terminal cancer. well she obviously pumped it out and then gave it to him. The article can be found here at au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/b/new-idea/23524/i-breastfeed-my-dad/. I thought it was some attention seeking female at first then I realised why she was actually doing it. What are your thoughts on this issue. I think its ok for a good cause. Girls would you do it for your dad or someone you loved?

Hi Mac,
Oh, that is very interesting. I don't know if it is good for the infant who is also getting milk from his mother but if this can help her father come out of cancer then it would be the best thing and human's milk will be started sold in the market as a medicine for cancer.
Interesting.

In this case the infant is around eight months old so there is no real danger. but I doubt human milk will ever be sold in the market. I dont think a lot of mothers will be willing to give it to strangers especially when they have a small baby. Anyway good idea

Aww...Why not..I mean if my dad was suffering from cancer, i'd totally do the same thing if i had a baby in the first place...I think there's nothing gross about it...Sure the idea was weird in the first place because it isn't common yea? I'd do just about anything to help save a family member...anything..And i salute her for it..=] It's a good ting she did, we should be proud to have such people around...=]
