    Curious to see what is your source on that

    Foreskin has lots of usecases in research for drugs, skin grafts, wound healing, eye lid repair …
    Would be stupid to throw something that valuable away for nothing. It’s like being against an organ donor.

    Now advocating for male genital mutilation without a medical need, that’s a different subject of discussion.

    I strongly do not believe this is true

    Source: work in newborn nursery and foreskins are thrown in biohazard trash

    IF this is true I honestly don’t care. It’s not like they’re deliberately mutilating genitals with that sole intention. The ethical ramifications of circumcision is a whole other discussion lmao. The beauty industry has used things from skunk scent to animal feces to dangerous testing on living things. Recycling an “ethically acquired” waste product into a pseudo-science beauty product isn’t great, but there are so many better things to care/ be upset about

    I mean isn’t it used for all sorts of stuff? Including medical research?

    Better than just throwing them all away, and I’m sure no one is circumcising their son for a literal paycheck

    I’m against all unnecessary procedures, mutilating babies without a medical issues definitely belongs in that category.

    I do not understand how they source this material but it doesn’t feel necessary and people involved might be exploiting this for monetary gain instead of doing it out of absolute necessity. I don’t see any reason for it to have any connection to the beauty industry, especially if it could help in medical research.

    My opinion is strong: stop mutilating healthy children. I don’t care if you think it’s better or whatever, it’s still mutilating.

    There are easier ways to get ingredients for beauty products and using baby foreskin face cream will not actually do anything for your skin. Believing people would fall for this out of vanity and desperation says a lot about what somebody thinks of people.
