I still find it very funny when the media takes an age-old health concept and tries to trendify it. The most recent story I came across was a story from USA Today about new mothers who elect to eat their placenta. Cough. I am not even a mother but I am pretty sure that women were eating the placenta, like, 5,000 years ago. What I find a more interesting 'trend' story is the ever-increasing number of women who have elective c-sections at 8 months in order to preserve their bodies. On the subject of childbirth, another story from Wired I found fascinating. Engineers have created a child birthing simulator for doctors to practice delivery with. (CN)
