Nanci, that is a good question. And, regarding placentas, of whom is it, really? The mom? The baby? The union of sperm and egg produce both baby and placenta, so it can't really be said to be of the mom alone. Makes me think of some animals who very neatly clean up the scene after the babies are born.
Well whose DNA is in the placenta cells?
