CHICAGO – Someone is disposing of placentas in a central Illinois sewage system and authorities want it to stop. Workers in Urbana on Thursday found a placenta in a filter that keeps large objects out of the sewage treatment plant — the third such find this year. So police have enlisted medical experts. "It was one of the weirdest calls I've ever received," said Julie Pryde, who heads the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District.

Urbana Police Lt. Bryant Seraphin remembered: "She said, 'You found a WHAT in the WHERE?'"

The unprecedented finds have officials wondering if a midwife or veterinarian, stressed by economic woes, has been avoiding the expense of paying for a medical waste disposal service.

Yep!

Somewhere in the world, someone is saying to themselves, "Who'd through away some perfectly good placenta's?"

you americans scare me

Good luck tracing that back to the toilet it came from

This is the end.

Meh, it is most likely just a clinic or hospital disposing of them incorrectly.
Could be from full term births in a hospital, but I would wager it is from an abortion clinic - less regulations so easier to do.

This is nothing more than White Castle throwing away its excess ingredients for their famed slyder.
It's cow placenta and to many, it's damn tasty.
Got beef?
