This question popped into my head after an ADHD moment of deconstructing the concept that humans willingly drink cow milk on an industrial scale. Would you drink milk if it was human women pumping the milk themselves?

I mean I picture it like working at a factory. Clock in and start pumping. Also I picture it like certain dairy farms with how they wait for the calf to be fully weened before harvesting the rest, so children wouldn’t be being deprived.
Plus if they were being deprived finding more breast milk wouldn’t exactly be hard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think the primary concern would be women giving too much milk at work to meet quotas, followed by the risk of women giving too much to make money, not leaving enough for their own children. But breast milk will continue to be produced as long as it’s withdrawn, so there should be an ethical way to continue it.
