The Commodification of Breast Milk by Matt Dias

“…In recent months, a controversy surrounding the commodification of breast milk has resurfaced, indicating that the currently uncontrolled market may need regulation.[1] In autumn 2014, a corporation called Medolac Laboratories sought to purchase breast milk from low-income African American mothers in Detroit.[2] Unfamiliar with the benefits that breast milk could provide their infants, some mothers were led to believe that they must either give the milk to their children or pump milk for money.[3] While Medolac pledged to “increase breastfeeding and economic empowerment in urban areas” and promote “wealth creation among intercity mothers,” community activists, including the nonprofit Black Mothers’ Breastfeeding Association (BMBFA), alleged that Medolac was (i) targeting breast milk providers based on race and income levels and (ii) exploiting a group of women whose breastfeeding rates are significantly below the national average.[4] In partnership with community members and local lawmakers, BMBFA launched a public accountability campaign, which effectively ended Medolac’s recruiting attempts in January 2015.[5] The commodification of breast milk has been trending in popular culture and online. …”

The Ethical Need for a Fertility Decision-Aid for Transgender Adults of Reproductive Age by Shannon Glick

“…A study showed that 76.6 percent of TGD men and 76.1 percent of TGD women considered fertility preservation, but only 3.1 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively, initiated it.[39]  Success rate, cost, need for travel, and elevated risk of gender dysphoria likely lead to lower use of fertility preservation.[40]  According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the average cost of an IVF cycle in the US is $12,400.[41] Intrauterine insemination can range in cost from a few hundred dollars to $2,000 per cycle.[42] There are also associated costs to freeze and store sperm and eggs.[43]  Insurance coverage and physical location impact the costs and how the patient bears the costs.[44] For those who do not have sufficient or any insurance coverage,  fertility preservation may not be feasible.  …”

“…<p>The urgent need to mitigate climate change has evoked a broad interest in better understanding and estimating nitrous oxide (<span class="inline-formula">N₂O</span>) emissions from different ecosystems. Part of the uncertainty in <span class="inline-formula">N₂O</span> emission estimates still comes from an inadequate understanding of the temporal and small-scale spatial variability of <span class="inline-formula">N₂O</span> fluxes. …”
