Readers Praise September Williams's Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Issues in Human Milk Banking* "The first fashion model just hit the runway with a baby at her breast. Life is funny that way. In a warmly rendered book, very soundly based on research and facts, we are introduced to a topic that may have eluded many - with the high birth rate and the need for mothers to be employed there is a physical gap between knowing that breast milk is far superior in nutrition and other aspects than milk form the market and finding a way to supply breast milk for all infants." --Grady Harp"A call for ideas and support to improving contributions in the Human Milk Banking Environment --In a well-written, backed by data, in-depth study on the undertakings in the Human Milk Banking environment, author Dr. September Williams espouses on the challenges faced by non- profit organizations toward the provision of human milk to needy infants." -- EA " Expand Your Horizons--The book deserves your free time.

The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking captured my attention and held it. Bioethics is a fascinating topic, but it's a little over my head, to put it lightly.

About the Author

September Williams is an American physician-writer, bioethicist and filmmaker. All of her work seeks a better understanding of and between ourselves. She focuses on promoting resilience for people who are ill, aging, dying, or stressed by environmental and humanitarian violation. Yet, her writing is fired by the humor which allows people and characters to make it through hard times. Her first novel, and the first in a series of three books, is Chasing Mercury, a romance-suspense-memoir about families committed to human and environmental rights. September's nonfiction writing covers health disparities, bioethics and film. She is a member of the National Writers Union (AFLCIO/UAW 1981), an affiliate of the International Federation of Journalists, and the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities. Though raised in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, September is a graduate of the University of Winnipeg Collegiate Division and has a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of Manitoba, Canada. She attended Creighton University School of Medicine, and completed internal medicine residency at Cook County Hospital, Chicago. A tribute to her vanguard nature, September holds three fellowships which did not exist the day she started medical school. She was an ASPEN (American Society of Enteral and Parental Nutrition) Clinical Fellow in surgical hyperalimentation at Chicago Medical School; a Lowell T. Coggleshall Fellow at the University of Chicago MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics; and an American College of Geriatric Medicine / HRSA Clinical Geriatrics Fellow at the University of California, San Francisco. A significant concentration of Dr. Williams' clinical work has been in acute care, emergency medicine and palliative care. Public medical facilities have been her primary venues of practice in Chicago, Boston, New Mexico, Mazimbu - Morogoro Tanzania, and San Francisco. While at the University of Chicago, MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, September was particularly encouraged to continue writing by the late philosopher and author, Stephen Toulmin. With him, she explored how universal stories influence peoples' expectations of medicine and science, autonomy and justice-particularly when adapted to screen. Dr. Williams subsequently learnt her film craft in the screenwriting and directing MFA program at Columbia College, Chicago and at Boston University, while also working in an inner city trauma center. She was a National Endowment for the Humanities Institute Fellow in Black Film, at the Zora Neal Hurston Center for the Documentary. Dr. Williams is a co-editor, author, and reviewer of books, articles and films related to medical and bioethical issues. Over twenty-five years, Dr. Williams has provided more than a thousand lectures and consultations in clinical and organizational bioethics. Beyond her hospital based service and teaching, some of this work has been for the Centers for Disease Control, the National Center for Bioethics at Tuskegee University, Harvard AIDS Institute, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Center for Practical Bioethics, the American Academy of Pain Management, and the McGann Women & Health Lecture Series at Stanford University. Dr. Williams retired early from the San Francisco City and County's Laguna Honda Hospital-God's Hotel. September has two millennial adult children and lives in Marin County, California, where she dances, open water rows the San Francisco Bay, and writes.

In a well-written, backed by data, in-depth study on the undertakings in the Human Milk Banking environment, author Dr. September Williams espouses on the challenges faced by non-profit organizations toward the provision of human milk to needy infants.The increasing birth rates indicates that inevitably the demand for human milk would be on the rise. Written under the auspices of the Mothers’ Milk Bank San Jose (MMB-SJ), the author expatiates on the need for more donations to meet the rising demand.Excerpt from the book:"The monograph The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking is just one tool in MMB-SJ’s continuous remolding of its strategic approaches to lactation advocacy.This Mothers’ Milk Bank is a not-for-profit breast milk bank based in northern California. In 2017 alone, this not-for-profit agency provided and distributed human milk donations of over 551,000 ounces to babies in need to 114 hospitals, including those located in Washington, Arizona, Idaho, Connecticut and Maryland. Since 1974, MMB-SJ has also had western distribution stretching from Anchorage to the Mexican border. MMB-SJ is a charter member of the Human Milk Bank Association of North America (HMBANA)."The rise of for-profit firms in the Human Milk Banking industry, the author feels, could also be a corollary factor in the decline of voluntary milk donation to the nonprofits, as mothers with extra milk to spare, may tilt toward financial compensation rather than voluntary giving.However, for for-profit firms, the need to balance the books rather than save lives would be the overwhelming objective and thus the availability of human milk through this medium could be a challenge while the costs of providing these milk could be out of the reach of some mothers.With nonprofit organizations unable to match the financial reach and donations of the for-profit, the nonprofits face a losing battle to attract more donors.The defence of the regular availability of Human Milk to the benefit of the population that needs it most – the babies – is the clarion call of The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking.Impact investors, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, interested parties with the skills, wherewithal and desire to help resolve these challenges, please contact the Mothers’ Milk Bank San Jose (MMB-SJ)or the Human Milk Bank Association of North America (HMBANA).The service rendered would be invaluable to bridging the gap between the demand for human milk and its supply.

The beautiful and informative book! I believe that books that expand your horizons and teach you something new, these books deserve respect.I met the book about breastfeeding by Dr. September Williams.When I was reading the book, I logically suggested that the author is connected with medicine, because I think that only a professional can discuss such a topic.And I really liked it. I have learned a lot and have highlighted some facts for myself. Breathly, the fact that breast milk is very useful for a child and the fact that no dry mix will replace it, why some women do not have enough milk, and one of them has plenty of it and how to act in such situations. The book deserves your free time. I advise everyone, especially for moms. Although it seems to me that it will be interesting for everyone to read, because this book is not for a certain circle of people. Regardless who you are and where you live, whether you have children, buy it and you will not regret.

The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking by September Williams certainly covers a subject not often thought about, breastfeeding and milk banking. It is always strongly encouraged for all moms to breastfeed, but some are unable to and some do not want to. Nor can many women afford to buy formula for their babies. Milk banks are a way around this problem and offer a solution to many moms out there. This book is quite well written, and backed up by some solid data, espousing the benefits of providing human milk to needy infants, whether due to poverty or other circumstances. These non-profit providers of human milk supply certainly fill a need in society, but now face other challenges from for-profit providers. It's a battle of the mighty dollar versus a more altruistic approach. A fascinating look at a very specific and troubling issue, this book is highly recommended to raise awareness about the need for human milk and milk banks.

The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking is a subject every woman who gave birth can give an opinion about. There are multiple reason a woman can’t, or shouldn‘t, breastfeed their child though scientifically this is the best form of nutrition for a child.The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking drew my attention after a young mother I know encouraged other women to take part on social media. I immediately wondered about the process and how it is regulated. I commend September Williams and the Mothers Milk Bank San Jose for putting this subject out in the open and informing the public about the issues they face when the milk banks are empty. I think this is a book men should read along with women. Sometimes comments from uneducated men can harm a woman’s view of the importance in human milk can have on the development of her child.Â

The Elephant in the Room: Bioethical Concerns in Human Milk Banking by September Williams and Mothers Milk Bank, San Jose is a short but and very compelling read. In a time when people are getting back to realizing the importance of breast milk to infants especially those who are doing poorly, this book will likely be happily accepted and passed around amongst breastfeeding moms and lactation consultants everywhere. The book explains the history and importance of human milk banking, going into detail as to why it is needed and how much milk is needed or infants around the world. The book also makes me thankful that I was able to produce enough for my child and was still able to donate some to other moms in need. Breast milk is an amazing thing and I love how this book explains exactly how amazing it is and why human milk banking is such a huge need.
