Outline: Placenta Encapsulation

I. Introduction
1. Hook- Placenta Encapsulation is a process in which your placenta is sent off directly
following birth and placed into small capsules that are taken by mouth.
2. Background- Placentas are usually about a sixth of the size of a baby. Around one or
three pounds. 100-200 pills can be produced from the placenta.
3. Thesis Statement: Placenta Encapsulation should remain legal. Consuming your
placenta has many benefits such as helping to balance the mothers hormones,
increasing milk production, and makes for a more enjoyable post natal period.
II. Body of research paper
1. Thesis Support #1- Balancing the mothers hormones
2. Thesis Support #2- Increasing milk production
3. Thesis Support #3- More enjoyable postnatal period.
4. Counterargument- Some people believe that Placenta Encapsulation is gross and is
considered Cannibalism.
III. Conclusion
1. Restate thesis: Placenta Encapsulation should remain legal. Consuming your placenta
has many benefits such as helping to balance the mothers hormones, increasing milk
production, and makes for a more enjoyable post natal period.
2. On a New York Times article one lady told about her experience with Placenta
Encapsulation. In her case, Placenta Encapsulation was not a good idea for her and she
regrets doing it. She had a lot of negative side affects and stopped taking the pills cold
turkey. When she decided to do this, she returned to her normal self.
3. After giving birth a mothers hormones will be the most messed up things ever. One
minute you may be laughing, then crying, then smiling, then angry. Consuming
placenta pills will help to balance them and help the mother to be in a good state of
mind.
4. If a mother chooses to breast feed, the breast milk is the babys way of survival.
Therefore, the mother wants her milk to be as pure, healthy, and nutritious as possible.
The placenta pills contain so many proteins that make the breast milk even healthier.
5. When a woman is pregnant she does not have a period. Once the baby is born and the
period starts back its going to approach at full force. Its going to be painful and very
severe. Intaking these placenta pills causes the mothers postnatal period to be more
relaxed, comfortable, and less heavy.
6. I believe that Placenta Encapsulation is a very good, beneficial process. It may affect
different people differently and different side effects may occur, but for the post part
its good. You cannot possibly go wrong with something like this that contains so
many benefits and helps a new mother out in so many positive ways.
