On the other hand, as ghoulish as it sounds, no pain or death are actually involve (ah, well, none that wouldn’t have happened if it was disposed of instead, anyway).
Its kind of like human-hair wigs.

Though I don’t think I personally want anything to do with this.
Too many more articles like this and the prolapse and I will be officially worried about Allah. I couldn’t make it past the first page but seriously, three pages on this subject?

It was really about provoking a debate about placentas and how we treat them.”
Seriously? How we treat them? Just take care of the baby and we don’t have a problem.
Who thought that this was a good idea? When I see this I think of the stories of Nazis using the skin of their victims for wallets or lamp shades. Disgusting!!!
It’s amazing how artists are able to take mundane cultural found objects and create dramatic and dynamic new perceptual expressions which challenge established paradigmatic contexts in powerfully transgressive milieux, creating dramatically new intellectual horizons for all.
That, or they do a bunch of goofy sh*t that makes them feel important.

Bad Emo donkey! You do not question the motives of artists. You should just be glad you are worthy to see their creations, and fund their efforts through your tax dollars.

Oh, you missed a good one. It was yesterday, check the archives…if you dare…
Meh. Earlier humans inflated pig bladders and played ball (hence “pigskin” for football).
I’m not planning on doing anything with a placenta myself, but it’s nothing to get too worked up over IMO.

Why do you think prolapse is a common theme here lately? It shook us to our very core. Left some of us wondering – when will that be on the panda take out menu?
You and SouthernGent…look…if you find a vagina lying in the street. You don’t make a teddy bear out if it. You marry it.
Ya’ll are weird.
lorien1973 on November 10, 2009 at 2:23 PM
Figgured you’d hit it first lol…
Nah, don’t think me or Gent would marry it heh. Me, I’d hose it into a gutter like the beginning of that movie Orca, when the baby hit the deck and the dude hose it off into the sea.
They’re not discarded in the US. If they don’t look normal, they are sent to pathology. The rest are thrown in a giant freezer and are sold. The going rate many years ago was a $1.00 a placenta.
I met a man once who insisted on growing his pot plants in afterbirth soil. He also insisted the streams in the sky left by jet airplanes were chemicals the government dispersed to control the masses.

I’ve heard that option is getting more popular. But cooked. I wonder if there are any recipes …

Whenever I hear someone criticize “organized religion,” I ask them how disorganized religion–theological anarchy–can be said to be in any way superior. This feel-good spirituality crap is in many ways worse (and in this particular case far more disgusting) than the old dogmas of the European religions.
hicsuget on November 10, 2009 at 2:57 PM
“It was really about provoking a debate about placentas and how we treat them.”
Uh-oh, how many “artists” are going to be applying for a grant from the NEA to make placenta bears?
The placenta is still eaten in some Chinese medicinal practices for strength
I’m convinced the Chinese will eat ANYTHING because they think it is good for them or enhances sex.

Green claims he was motivated to make the bears to shake up how people think of placenta.
Um, I don’t need to be ’shaken up’ on how I think about placenta. It is what it is. It makes me wonder about this Green dude. This is a person that should be watched. Closely.
