I took my granddaughters placenta at Beaumont Hospital in MI, we just told her OB/GYN in advance and he had a specimen jar of formalin in the delivery room, He cut off a piece of the placenta and put it in the specimen jar for us, handed it to me and I took it home. We use it as our placenta control tissue in the lab now.

Unless you are *really* resilient, I would expect you would have other recovery related things to think about. With the OB/GYN's permission (and curiosity) I took my wife's placenta twice. Once for each kid. The local college was grateful to have it since it is a great tissue to learn on, and I also had an abundance of control tissue. The shock on my mother-in-law's face was palpable. She still thinks I'm nuts.
