It's good to recycle: China re-uses skin of executed prisoners for cosmetics

A Chinese cosmetics company is using skin harvested from the corpses of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, an investigation by the Guardian has discovered.
Agents for the firm have told would-be customers it is developing collagen for lip and wrinkle treatments from skin taken from prisoners after they have been shot. The agents say some of the company's products have been exported to the UK, and that the use of skin from condemned convicts is "traditional" and nothing to "make such a big fuss about".

    Aahahaaa! Ahahaa.

    I laugh at folks who go in for all this beuty treatment anyway. This makes it ten times funnier.

    Plus, it is recycling. Rather than waste that skin, they are using it! (joke.)
    Some fillers are made from cattle or pig tissue
    Mmm, that sounds lovley too. Whats the big uproar? People want it cheap and its not like they care where it comes from, is it? Look at the trade of people KNOWINGLY buying balck-market organs.
    Hand transplants though... wow... losing a limb to a landmine may no longer be a problem! This is scary. Frankenstein alert.

    Poor chap though, being called Dr.Wang.
