an old-time New England tradition

is to bury the placenta in the yard and plant a sapling fruit tree on top of it. Supposed to be super nutritious for the tree and then the child and the tree have a bond. I think it's a beautiful tradition--at least it was when people lived their whole lives on one plot of land.

With our first baby, my wife donated her placenta to science.

3/3/15 9:57am

Sorry, that was confusing. Science with a capital "S". I'm only "s"cience.

Ok serious question. What would they do with it? Umbilical cord for stem cell?
