摘要

摘要母乳的需求量越来越大。母乳对婴儿的健康益处是众所周知的。数量有限的澳大利亚正规奶库为早产儿和患病婴儿提供母乳。然而,越来越多的成年人和来自非传统健康婴儿家庭的父母正在互联网和社交媒体网站上购买和分享它以供消费。在澳大利亚,母乳在法律上并没有被定义为纸巾或食物。其捐赠、交换或出售也不受监管。这是一种不稳定的情况,因为未经筛选且可能不安全的母乳正被提供给社会中最脆弱的成员——婴儿。这篇文章呼吁对母乳进行法律定义,并解决目前的监管真空。我们建议建立一个一致、统一的母乳库和共享网络,保护捐赠者和接受者的安全。我们认为,这可以通过将母乳定义为一种组织、进行筛查和储存来实现,这些做法与目前用于献血的做法类似。

White Gold on the Black Market: The Need for Regulation of Banking and Donation of Human Milk in Australia
ABSTRACT Human milk is in increasing demand. The health benefits of human milk for infants are well known. A limited number of formal Australian milk banks provide human milk to premature and sick infants. However, growing numbers of adults and parents from non-traditional families of healthy infants are buying and sharing it from the internet and social media sites for consumption. In Australia, human milk is not legally defined as a tissue or a food. Its donation, exchange, or sale is also unregulated. This is a precarious situation, as unscreened and potentially unsafe human milk is being provided to the most vulnerable members of society – infants. This article calls for human milk to be legally defined, and the current regulatory vacuum to be addressed. We recommend a consistent and uniform network of human milk banking and sharing where the safety of donors and recipients is protected. We argue that this might be achieved by defining human milk as a tissue, undergoing screening and storing practices similar to those currently used for blood donation.
