These claims about "neonatal foreskins" being used in cosmetics are certainly extraordinary. And I see no proof offered - just hearsay. I won't believe it until I see proof. And I'm amazed at the number of people here who will just accept at face value something that someone says in a blog of this sort! Shame on you, people! Learn about the scientific method. Learn about peer review. Don't just believe anything anyone says! If you do, you are fools... Or is that what's wrong with society today? Laws being passed on the bases of unsubstantiated claims - people put in prison for falsely-claimed harms? Wake up, sheeple! The media is out to fleece you. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.”

Hey you stupid bitches, how about cutting off your damn clit and see if you joke about it!!?????? To imagine that a perfectly good body part of baby boys going for the beautification of these stupid cunts is appalling!!!!

Is there is any scientific proof that using the foreskin for wrinkle cream helps? As far as using the foreskin from circumcised babies to help burn victims or diabetics, what better purpose can there be. This is sort of the ultimate recycling once the foreskin is cut off and is of no use to the boy it now becomes a valuable asset to a person in need. When my son was born most likely his foreskin was burned in the hospital incinerator. Cosmetics always claim to have value by having some exotic ingredients.

We aren't free to determine either the appearance of our naked---or of our clothed---body! And our rights are ruined by being defined as "illnesses" (possession of natural anatomy and freedom of dress---to wear a GD skirt without being slandered for it!) Don't any unjust person put words in my mouth by saying bras are sex neutral. Men wore skirts for 1,000's of years. Psychiatry promoted circumcision AND denial of freedom of dress (previously to both sexes, now to men only!)
