Human Male Lactation
Spontaneous lactation occasionally occurs in starving men; after World War II, for example, thousands of cases were observed among POWs released from concentration camps.
The phenomenon of successful human male breastfeeding has been credibly observed in several cases. However, the cases are not sufficiently documented to allow distinguishing of possible pathologic galactorrhea.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or male:
“The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago ... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
“As humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
