Still Waters Posted November 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2013 One customer says she can understand how people might think it is "yucky" but she will keep her placenta in a cool box after giving birth so it can be made into a frame. http://www.telegraph...n-placenta.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickian Posted November 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Well, I find it pretty out there. It's not strange enough to think someone creepy over, but it definitely not something I'd be interested in having in my house. Some body parts are not meant to be kept around after their purpose has been served. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thyra Posted November 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2013 it is interesting how something inside our body feels yuck when it is out. like spit. it is in our mouth all the time but the moment you spit it out it becomes foreign and yuck and we hate it. perhaps it has something to do with subconscious knowing that it would let bacteria build up real fast when it is released outside. anyway, it doesnt look bad as frames. it is better be used for something than to be thrown away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabby Kitten Posted November 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It's often men who go "yuck" when the placenta hits news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted November 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If I ever have my gall bladder out, I'm going to have it re-purposed into a Christmas ornament for the tree. I've had 2 kids. I saw the placentas. There was nothing about them that made me think they had decorative purposes, and I really don't understand some emotional attachment to it. That's just... odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted November 25, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2013 what i think is interesting (strange?) is that there's this whole cottage industry based around doing various things, artistic or otherwise, with the placenta. it's one of those things that i can only respond to with a minnesotan style: "well, that's different." at least the people in this story aren't eating them, i suppose.

Placenta Pecan Pie? Placenta Stew? Maybe...Placenta Souffle....now that sounds appetizing doesn't it? Or...if you like going to the Fair...Deep Fried Placenta.... We do know of at least one example however of deadly connections to the Placenta Thing....David Carradene of Kung Fu fame, buried his wifes Placenta under a Peach Tree and named the kid Free...decades later...he was found dead, hanging in a closet in a motel room in Bankok. Best to just leave the Placenta alone...it already had it's day... Edited November 25, 2013 by joc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skep B Posted November 26, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2013 look, some people eat the placenta, some people have their ashes made into diamonds, some tribes place still borns into holes in trees. At this point the fact people don't run around wearing the damn things w/ umbilical chord belts and tonsil earrings is more shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted November 26, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Do you think there is a market for that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
