[Histonet] "placenta encapsulation"

[Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)]

Back in 1974 in Louisville, KY I agreed to give the placenta from my firstborn over for some research project. I didn't ask at the time what the heck they were researching - I was in labor and I just wanted it OUT. I hope they didn't eat it! Or make shampoo out of it.

Eeeewwwwww!
