Strongly depends on how it's sourced. Would definitely give it a try if it's excess from a milk bank that's about to expire or if it comes from cultured human breast tissue in a lab. Would not try if it its from some random person or otherwise unclear origin though.

Also wouldn't make a habit of it, there's probably infants who would benefit from me not making it more scarce and expensive than it could be.

No, I'd be worried about viruses. With common animal milks, I know there's almost zero chance any viruses present in the milk are capable of infecting a human. Obviously that isn't the case with human milk.

i'd have to tour the collection conditions for ... science

Eh, not really. It's nice in small amounts, but it isn't tasty enough to merit drinking a whole glass.

It would make more sense than consuming animal milk and could be a good revenue source for mothers

For sure if it was locally sourced and free of antibiotics

No because this implies that there is a human milk farm somewhere 🤢

[–] Hotrod54chevy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

But it's free range human milk!

Might get it once just to try but I don't drink milk in general so I don't really need it.

Yes. I don't like supporting supermarkets but this would make buying it so much easier that I'd make an exception.

Depends on whose milk it is

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I don't even buy cow milk
