The Baby Gaga Saga


Share |

Posted on 04 April 2012

The Gender, Sexuality and Law research group (Centre for Law Ethics and Society) hosted a workshop, The Baby Gaga Saga which was inspired by the recent media brouhaha around the Baby Gaga (later Baby Goo Goo) ice-cream, created by London?s Icecreamist, using human breast milk.

Speakers explored the objections and questions raised by the 'Baby Gaga saga', focusing on the regulation of human breast milk as a 'product', while also touching on perennial ethical and political issues around breastfeeding.

The interdisciplinary workshop brought together a diverse range of speakers and participants working in relevant areas representing practitioners, activists and academics from sociology, law, anthropology, ethics, human geography, nursing, midwifery and medicine.
