My squick is less over the teddy bear and more over the casual assumption that most right-minded eco-friendly women are going to eat it, rather than letting the hospital staff dispose of it along with all of the other bio-waste associated with giving birth.
I'll admit, throwing the placenta away is probably not the greenest option. Maybe we should be composting them for the hospital's community garden or something. But NO eating and NO keepsakes!
It's the third fucking edition (and one of the best-fucking-respected works of lexicography in recent decades). (I heart the little fucker).

Planting is the other option that's popular. I think my sis-in-law planted hers. I, on the other hand, asked to see mine so I could remember its face when I SAW IT IN HELL.
Ahem.
I had issues with my placenta, clearly. Fucking bed rest.
Oh god, I wish I hadn't eaten breakfast already.
Just dying for a nice slice of fried placenta and onions? I bet it tastes like liver. Mainly because it looks like liver.
::hates on Plei::
I don't remember seeing any of mine. I can't say that I mind.
It looked shockingly innocent for such a pain in my ass. All glossy and smooth.
The fucker.
Even my crunchiest home-birthing friend didn't eat her placenta, although she thought about it....

I think I can see what the first problem was.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Oh, serious WORD. No, no, no, and in a word, NO. I'm with Aims-- "Thank you and off you go to the bio-hazard wastebin."
