Wolferz Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 In regard to number 24: Placentas, including umbilical cord are also collected and sold to manufacturers of make-up. Think about that one next time you boys give your lady a peck on the cheek. I know this because my dad used to haul it. Things like that are sent to Red Cross Blood banks for storage and sale.
