TIL about the foreskin industry in the US. The foreskin from a baby boy can be bio-engineered to grow and is used in many beauty products like skin rejuvenating lotions, creams and solutions. Medically they’re also used in treating burns, persistent leg ulcers, bed sores, reconstructive surgery etc

Reminds me of a story about a baby being born without eyelids. The surgeons used the foreskin to fashion new eyelids. The baby is living a normal life now but he is a little cock-eyed.
Shit, I’ll just rub my foreskin on your face for free
Say what now?
You’re welcome!
But Americans have been routinely circumcising boys since before all that, why? It’s rare in the UK unless for religious reasons
Sharing isn’t always caring OP.
Okay, but ***why***
They use Braskey’s foreskin as a tarp for yankee stadium when it rains.
You ever read something so wild all you can do is blink a few times because that was me reading this horrid post.

Ironic that the foreskin can be engineered to grow, but when I buy that cream, nothing.
so, this is the type of thing I just have to dig into and research, because it doesn’t sound right. Some sources: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-cut-above-the-rest-wrin/ Now, this names the product, Vavelta, as “being developed”. The page on Wikipedia: https://en.intactiwiki.org/wiki/Vavelta looks rather sparse, huh? The company that was doing the development, Intercytex… try to find anything on them today. It appears they suspended operations in 2009. So… I would call this a likely bust, yes, something over a decade ago may have been true, but the op’s link seems to imply it is active today.
I can’t even find any information on the other stuff mentioned.
You want to buy a bridge, OP?
FYI this website is some anti-circumcision org nonsense.
Ooh, my new pick up line on tinder – “My dick has medicinal properties.”
It should be noted that a child is never asked if they want to be circumcised, and if they are, they never receive financial compensation for what amounts to quite literally the best stem cells you can get.
