I've heard of several... shall we say, interesting things that women choose to do with their placentas after giving birth. There's the classic "bury it in the garden" approach, but I only have a patio container garden and I think an umbilical cord trailing out of a windowbox might scare the neighbors. Then there's the hardcore hippie "cook it and eat it" method, which has awesome ewwwww potential but I don't believe anyone really does this. Although if you bury your placenta in the garden, a pack of neighborhood dogs might unearth it for a snack. Until today, I was ignorant of placenta prints, or the art of using your placenta as a squishy stamp pad to make decorative wall art (or Christmas cards, wallpaper, etc.). I have to admit, I'll probably want to take a look at my placenta, but the relationship ends there. It is very cool that I've manufactured a whole new essential organ out of nothing, but I don't need to eat it. Besides, what wine would I serve?
