Cambodia bans human breast milk exports
Cambodians are no longer allowed to sell or export human breast milk, after a US firm attracted controversy. Women are paid about US$7 a day to pump breast milk for export to the US.
Cambodia's cabinet ordered the health ministry on Tuesday to "take actions to immediately prevent the purchasing and exporting of breast milk from mothers from Cambodia," according to a ministry letter.
"Although Cambodia is poor and (life is) difficult, it is not at the level that it will sell breast milk from mothers."
The order came after it temporarily halted last week the US-based Ambrosia Labs from operating in the country on health and organ trafficking grounds.

This leaves me speechless. There's breast milk exports?
