Ain't that F'in great!! What the hell is next, lampshades?

Bookcovers. And coin purses. Our European ancestors were remarkably creative with human skin. And even some 18th and 19th century Americans. Human bones have found some rather creative uses, outside of cadaver transplants and implants. All of these things aside, most Americans find it easier to smear dead sheep collagen on their faces. There is some ethical dilemma about doing the same with dead human collagen, even for the most hardcore liberal, pro-abort, "animal rights", and anti-human types.

"China is not alone in harvesting tissue of deceased humans."

Its done in the US as well, we are just a little more clinical about it.

Only if the skin bared unique tattoos...

I smell a whiff of bs with this story. Actually, it smells like a cloud of bs.

Come on people, they are using the skin of executed prisoners for cosmetics? Doesn't that sound like just a wee bit of a stretch, even for the Red Chi Coms?
Not that I would put it past them; I do know that they apparently sell organs from prisoners.

A Chinese cosmetics company has been using skin taken from the bodies of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, a London newspaper reported.

Free Market is a fickle friend. Free Market is as Free Market does. Remember that.

Erm... Not that I defend the Commie Chinese, but f'gossake, that's the World Tribune. And it's also the rumor I heard 30+ years ago about donated blood plasma (Plasma going into lipstick.)

[CindyDawg]

What products do we sell in the U.S. that contains baby tissue? I won't even comment on China. The beam in the eye, thing.

moral absolutes ping?

[metmom]

Gack!!! Really makes all that make up worth it. Really, why would one want to put dead people on their faces?

Not the best sourced article is it?

Stock holders love em....

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but loose his soul?...
"Jesus of Nazareth".. Matthew 16:26

[chickenlips]

Yeah. There is a 1950's documentary titled "Night and Fog" that actually shows this stuff. It is truly an eye opener.

[metmom]

Like my using their makeup will make me look like that? Sure......

[joesnuffy]

Nope but probably not many other countries actually plan executions around harvesting their dead comrades body parts while they are still alive and healthy..

Not that just because they are not alone in doing this is any kind of defense for the atrocities they committ...

Heck the USA has killed over 44 million pre born US citizens since Roe V Wade...and lots of folks are making a bundle off of this industry....too

I hope that shit never makes it into Estee Lauder, Clinique or Lancome.

[claptrap]

Talk about ill-informed, no Sir it was Ed Gein who
skinned his victims and used their skin for light diffusing material.

[RightOnline]

Oh how grisly.............good God.............

[null and void]

Didn't the Nazis make lampshades out of the skins of concentration camp victims?

"Wool" watch caps and socks from "Jew hair".

And even bars of soap. Socialists are nothing if not "efficient"...

[DannyTN]

With a name like "Rotting Yellow Flesh" it has to be good!!!

"Not the best sourced article is it?

.....well, not really. But it's Friday night after all. I guess I could have added a /sarcasm tag.
