Yes, you read the headline correctly. You may retreat to your nearest powder room.

All done? OK, let's discuss.

Toy designer Alex Green has created something called the Twin Teddy Kit. The blog Inhabitots, which focuses on sustainable "green" design for parents and babies, described the bizarre creation as "A crafty alternative for those who don't necessarily want to eat their baby's placenta, but want to pay their respects to the life sustaining organ by turning it into a one-of-a-kind teddy bear."

Ooookay. We're with you so far. But can we ask why?

"Green's 'Twin Teddy Kit' 'celebrates the unity of the infant, the mother and the placenta.'"

Right. Celebrate the unity. Got it. So, um, we may regret this, but ... how does it work?
