On Monday a woman posted an offer on a French website to breast-feed babies of homosexual male couples for €100 a day, just weeks after a same-sex marriage law was passed in parliament.
The post, which was confirmed as genuine & legal, says: “I am a young mother in perfect health, a trained nurse of 29, & I am renting my breasts to milk-feed infants.”
The offer, addressed to married male homosexual couples, promises up to 10 breast-feedings a day. The woman is mobile and based near Paris, it says.
Alexandre Woog, CEO of the e-loue website where the offer appeared, said: “Our legal advisers tell us that it’s illegal in France to sell human milk, but this is a person proposing a service, not selling the milk in flasks, & we are advised this is completely within the law.”
While France has legalized marriage & adoption of children by same-sex couples, it does not permit surrogacy or assisted reproduction for gay & lesbian couples.
The website confirmed that many people had already responded to the proposal.
“The lady has received more than a dozen requests, but only half of them were serious. The rest were from perverts,” said a spokesman for the website. (I could not be more surprised.)
The website, which was created in 2009 as a platform where users can offer for rent or hire anything legal online, verifies the validity of any offer that “raises eyebrows.”
I don’t know whether I am amused, horrified or just resigned.
