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?

June Stieber said...Isn't it the placenta that's used in stem cell research? Why not donate it for a worthy cause?

Alex Taber said...There are not many things that gross me out, but this is really disgusting. What moron thought this up? I don't have kids, never will, nor do I want to. When I read garbage (I could use another word here, but won't!) like this I'm so glad that I'm a gay man.
As for the bastard who thought this up. The doctor who delivered him should have saved the after-birth (placenta) and thrown him away! But we all get what's coming to us, there's a special place in hell for this guy. As the late Ann Landers once said " Time wounds all heels, and you'll get yours buster!"
Alex Taber,
gay and proud of it!

Princess said...How is this pushing anything on children? Are YOU forcing your children to read the article?
Also, do you think it's better to treat children/teens like they are stupid until they hit 18 and then suddenly expect them to be fully grown up and mature?
Personally, I think that's the problem with children today.
