Do you think placentas have healing powers? A woman has won a court fight to keep the placenta after her daughter`s birth. She had planned to grind it up and ingest it as a way to fight postpartum depression, but now plans to bury it. Judge Johnson granted an injunction, ordering Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center to return the placenta to Anne Swanson. Hospital officials said they will comply. The hospital had refused to give the uterine lining to Swanson following the birth of her daughter, with officials calling it contaminated biohazardous waste. The judge ordered the hospital not to destroy the placenta, which was frozen, and ordered that it be turned over to Swanson within two weeks. Swanson, who was 30 when she gave birth, originally wanted to give her placenta to a friend to be dried, ground into a powder and packed into capsules. She said she now plans to dry, store and eventually bury the organ instead of eating it. http://www.happynews.com/news/71920...

It may be "natural" for animals to do it but last time I checked I wasn't a dog. yuck.

(I wouldn't recommend eating them in bulk). I also think it's disgusting, but I don't think it needs to be forbidden or anything.
