Do you allow patients to take home their placentas if desired? more

I know this has probably been discussed before but I didn't find it when I searched.

Do you allow patients to take home their placentas if desired?

Do they have to sign anthing in order to do so?

Do you address this in your policies?

This doesn't come up often for us but it did last night and the patient was told no under the umbrella of "biohazardous waste".

Thanks for any feedback!

Cheers,
