Value and Ethics of Placenta Sales

So there are companies that come in to take women's

placentas and use them for pharmaceuticals, for

beauty products, for stem cells, basically medical

procedures. They're valued at a lot of money.

I've heard $50,000. I've heard $500,000.

I've heard-

That much for a placenta?

For a placenta. I've also heard that they're more valuable when they're a

C-section.

Why?

Because they don't go through the vaginal canal, so they're not as, quote,

contaminated, so they can charge more for it.

So you mean to tell me that a company will pay 50,000

or above-

Different, mm-hmm

... for a woman's placenta-

Mm-hmm

... and pay more if they are not

given birth vaginally, and is that why so many

women are being forced into

C-sections?
