Mother and Hospital Battle Over Placenta

A Las Vegas mother is battling a local hospital over the ownership of a placenta. Anne Swanson gave birth at Sunrise Hospital last month, and wants her placenta so she can ingest it for its nutrients. But Swanson says the hospital has told her the organ was contaminated, and she would have to go to court to get it back. Yesterday, Swanson and a group of other women protested outside the Maryland Parkway hospital, with signs reading "Free the Placenta." A spokeswoman for Sunrise Hospital would not discuss the case, but says placentas are kept in cold storage for three days and are disposed if there is no request to keep it. Swanson says she'll contact the ACLU and Planned Parenthood to get the placenta back. But because it is contaminated, she has no plans to turn it into pills for consumption. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that the excess hormones in placentas can treat postpartum depression.

When my youngin was borh, they asked if we wanted to keep the placenta. Wife and I were horrified at the notion and the nurse explained some cultures believe in "re-absorbtion" of the placenta.

Wife and I looked at each other a moment...

I said to the Nurse: "Do you have any recipies?"

Wife: Heavy sigh "Please keep it away from him."
