Does eating placenta count as cannabalism?

Question

i heard some chick talking about it.

personally i think its nausitating,

because its a part of the human body,

does it count as cannabalism?

Answer 1

i heard this true story of a women who had a baby, kept the placenta and fed it to her party guests. (cooked it of course) i thought it was the most disgusting thing i had ever heard. and i think it would be cannibalism. yuck! i don't even want to see my placenta after i have my baby!  

Answer 2

No it's not cannibalism but it's not too nice! The reason mothers eat it in some cultures is it's loaded with iron filled goodness so replenishes the iron lost during childbirth. It looks a bit like liver by the way. It's a pretty amazing thing-kept a child alive for 9 months!

Answer 3

No, it's not cannibalism. It's not a living thing.

Answer 4

EW!

no, ur not killing it to eat it.

its just gross.

but i guess its still eating part of a human so it is in a way.

but EW!

Answer 5

Of Coarse, this is the most disgusting thing I have ever read !

This is the part where your baby was getting his nutrition and now you want to eat it !

ho ever told you this is a cannabalie  

Answer 6

It's more like eating p**p.  The body expels it as no longer needed.

Answer 7

I think it is. How awful!!!! Some cultures and religions will say its not but I also cant see the difference between that and any other flesh of the body. Some also bury it. I think once the baby is born the placenta has done its job and is ready for the waste.
