"Gee Your Skin Smells Terrific...

...Actually, I meant it smells like the collagen from someone who was executed. And, um, like fetuses as well. What's your beauty secret?"

    "A Chinese manufacturer of injectable collagen for use in cosmetic lip and wrinkle treatments has admitted to a UK news source that the company routinely sources materials from the skin of executed convicts as well as from aborted babies. An agent from the company told a Guardian reporter posing as a prospective client that use of skin from these sources is not unusual in China."

Is this bizarre or what? I'm pretty sure that if baby seals and Bambi were being used for this purpose, PETA would be all over it. Where do we go with this as a global "community" with regard to condoning this practice? Do you want to rub lotion on your face or body containing extracts from executed humans? Beauty products containing fetal tissue?

Ancient Chinese Secret?
