This is what each and every one of us depended on to connect to our mother’s life giving nourishment. Take a look at your belly button to see a lasting reminder of your attachment to this amazing organ. The placenta is what separates one human being from another human being. It is the demarcation point between two people: the one who provides temporary support for growth and the one who does the growing.

Life is amazing. Protect it, even when it’s not your own.
