I think there is a vegan source of collagen (from wheat) that some companies use but I'm not sure how much. I feel like calling the hospitals and demanding the $ from the sales of my kids placenta's.... I wonder how much they get.

I thought I was about as over the western medicine community as I could get but I am even further disillusioned with how low they will stoop for $.

I heard that they have a glue that they use in surgeries to mend bones that is made from human cadaver bones and from parts of a pig (maybe the gelatin???) as well. And they don't tell vegan's or vego's before they use it.

I'm sorry, but I would rather my leg heal all wonky than to have it glued together with the bones of  a dead person I never met. Now where did I read that? I need to write my sources for all of this stuff.

Modified to split topic... split botched! Now I know how to do it. This thread has one missing post which is HERE.

Sorry Georgia!

then again, i think i'd rather dead humans being used by science than them killing animals for it.

i also wonder if you know that several vaccines are produced in a medium of aborted fetus cells. so do any of you still want to vaccinate your children??

And I did and what a mess! I now know that I can't do that well....

More gross things anyone?
