Wow- that's just something else entirely! I would definitely complain to the school.

WTF, hmmmmm strange!!
People can eat placentas, play with, cut up etc from there own pregnancy's but OMG a strangers is just rediculous and disgusting!!
Complain to the school (not meaning OP BUT there is always the risk if placenta could have various blood borne diseases which could put kids at risk in school)
omg is he for real??? I to would get to the school and complain asap thats not on at all.I to would complain if my child was to sit thru one showing then that!!!
And yes its right its bubs dna not mums. You can freeze the cord blood now for the cells in case of cancer ect as its great in the treatment but wow it costs alot.I also have been told that hospitals now do that when parent dont want the cord/placenta now they store it for patients ect.
That man has gone some issues ay
Family of 3 Most hospitals take a sample of cord blood.. and your better off giving your baby all the goodness from the cord blood then freezing it for later!
I do think it is odd that he has asked a stranger for thier placenta.. but perhaps he has a ver odd sence of humour and was "joking" with your SIL as he knew she was weirded out that he ate his childrens placentas...
but the process its self is not that "unusual" eating a placenta does have MANY benifits more so for te mother..
I find that absolutely disturbing!
I would be horrified if someone did that infront of my child!
urghh i actually feel sick to my stomach.... that is definitely weird and very disturbing..
This is what I was thinking- what on earth is he rocking up to work with a placenta for? Shouldn't he have steamed it up at home for the mother to eat? Sounds like a rather self centred man.:
I don't really see the problem with observing a placenta in a science class. No need to eat one in front of your students though. But for connection to our bodies it seems like a nice idea to have one, better than dissecting dead rats.
I wonder what ages the kids are he teaches? For high school biology students, the chance to dissect a real placenta would be an amazing lesson, but this is something he should be asking a local hospital about through appropriate channels to allow them to get a willing donor.
As for eating his kids' placentas, what a strange thing to do. You think if he and his partner were so ok with eating it (which many couples are) they would save it for the mother who is most in need of it's blood and nutrition.
