Via Art Caplan comes this AP story about a woman in Iowa who has a surplus of breast milk, so she decided to sell it — 100 ounces for $200, or best offer. Apparently there are no laws regarding the sale of breast milk in Iowa, but the AP reports that the state department of health there advises against it.

As strange as this story might seem, it’s not without precedent. There’s actually a company in California — Prolacta — that acquires and sells human break milk and products derived from it. And there are individuals who have set up breast milk donation programs, though some have generated controversy.
