Well, down vote me if you want, but, IMO, human milk should be an industry. I can imagine women having the ability to stay at home with their infant or young child and pump milk, and be paid for it.
At present, just about nothing humans produce naturally is something that a company will buy. Most countries don’t allow paying for bodily fluids, including but not limited to, blood, plasma, semen (for IVF, etc). Nor do they allow for payment for human organs.
What’s left? Hair? I know nobody wants your toenail clippings. Certainly nobody is going to pay you for what comes out your backside.
It’s just one of those markets that is completely untouched IMO.
And yes the USA will let people buy organs/blood/plasma, etc, but it’s fairly uncommon in the rest of the world.
In any case, I don’t think any country has any laws forbidding it, but nobody has done it, to my knowledge.

Women wouldn’t get to stay at home, they’d be forced to pump milk at work to sell as part of a side hustle.
Shhh shhh no we have to make the peasants believe every exploitable activity is an intelligent sidehustle. THEIR idea. Not something that will be forced upon them by capitalism. How do you think we create like half of professions ever?
Market already filled. Buying/selling human breast milk was uncommon (though heard of) in mainland China, and exploded in popularity after the infant formula scandal.

It’s just interesting to me.

On OnlyFans if you really want to make a buck…
Is it legal to ship breast milk? Or even legal to sell?
