Yeah, some people eat their placenta after they give birth. They think it helps the new mom recover faster and be less prone to post-partum depression. If you google it, there's a blog entry out there about a guy who made lasagna or something out of his wife's placenta for all of their vegan friends. Apparently human placenta can be vegan even though it's meat as long as it's willingly given. (A college roomate was training to be a doula and she was always sharing "interesting" information about birth)
