Gates' company BIOMILQ is using biotechnology to create artificial breast milk for babies. This is done by using mammary cells placed in a flask. Biomilk claims that the formula “recreates conditions similar to the breast.”
This movement is part of the push that erases women as mothers and seeks to propagate the idea that breastmilk and "Biomilk" are interchangeable. This school of thought disregards a crucial part of infant feeding for mothers: the benefits accrued from actually nursing at the breast. Besides the fact that once again we have a "new and improved" way to feed babies which feeds the bottom line of multinational corporations, we denigrate all that breastfeeding means to women and babies. Again, just like in the 1950's men are telling women they have something better for babies.
As we have seen in infant formula shortages, it makes our very survival as a species dependent on the good will of a large multi national corporation with profit, not help, as its motive. And it opens the door a little more to transhumanism.
