Shim Jae-cheol of U&I Impression said the firm had gold-plated about 80 to 100 umbilical cords a month since starting business in August, with prices ranging from $76 to $96. It also offers mail order. "The company got the idea from mothers just storing umbilical cords and navels in an album or what-not," said Suk Tae-jin of Agamo.

Don't they know that you're supposed to eat it?
uh... they are gold plating the scab you have, not the placenta.
besides, you make shampoo out of the placenta.
apparently i'm in the minority. my mom kept that damn scab in the baby book. it wasn't until a few years ago, i was told this wasn't normal. maybe it's just a midwest thing.
but we didn't bronze. just the shoes, not the scab.
I am from the midwest, and I, too, think you are a freak.
So I guess it's just a you thing.
uh. i didn't put that in my baby book. that's all mom. and yes, she is.
and so are they people:

actually it's pretty normal, your mom isn't a total freak.
At least over there it is actually yours...
In the US & EU it is legally owned by big pharma, but claimed by the church.
Hey, there's good stem cells in that cord!!
Keeping the cord is a possibly useful idea.
Gold-plating can't be good for the stem cells, tho. :)
