I couldn't be more disappointed in mankind.


Doing it for the Kids is a current exhibition to showcase the latest, most innovative sustainable toy designs from around the globe. Among them, the Placenta Teddy Bear by designer Alex Green. 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. Green’s ‘Twin Teddy Kit’ ‘celebrates the unity of the infant, the mother and the placenta,’ and enables preparation of the placenta so it may be transformed into a teddy bear. The placenta must be cut in half and rubbed with sea salt to cure it. After it is dried out, it is treated with an emulsifying mixture of tannin and egg yolk to make it soft and pliable. Then, you craft it into a teddy bear.

Holy crazy! Nothing about this is ok. Eating placentas are either for people that live in Berkeley and drive cars that run on vegetable oil or for people so self indulgent and off their rocker, they eat human organs and flesh. Either way, that's a bat shit crazy move. Now these idiots are taking it to another level. Is it not enough to canibalize your own baby's life sac, that you have to go Build-a-Bear? Building teddy bears with placentas is the creepiest thing since Scott Peterson. If you read this and think, "Aww...how sweet," please do us all a favor and OD on your Xanax Rx tonight.
