The real reason pro circ people are so successful: A foreskin is worth 100K$ and is used in many female vanity products.

I'd rather not use any products that contain foreskin. Does anyone know which brands/items do this so I can avoid it?

if this were true then the value of all the foreskins in the world would be greater than the GDP of the world

tl;dr: nope

I found some of those products recently... I can't even touch the bottle, it's so creepy

We literally allow baby boys to be biofarmed for female vanity products.

Dr. Paul Tinari estimated that a single male foreskin can be worth upwards of $100,000. He argued that men who are circumcised have a right to the revenue made off the resale of their foreskins (just as someone who sells their hair for wigs would, for example).

That's because foreskin fibroblasts are big business. A fibroblast is a piece of human skin that is used as a culture to grow other skin or cells -- like human yogurt kits. Human foreskin fibroblast is used in all kinds of medical procedures from growing skin for burn victims and for eyelid replacement, to growing skin for those with diabetic ulcers (who need replacement skin to cover ulcers that won't heal), to making creams and collagens in the cosmetics industry (yes, the product that is injected into puffy movie-starlet lips).

Foreskin-derived skin, sourced from circumcisions (now considered by many experts to be painful and also unnecessary) is still often considered the "cruelty free" alternative to testing cosmetic products on animals. One foreskin can be used for decades to produce miles of skin, much of which helps people in genuine medical need. And that's the reason one foreskin can generate as much as $100,000: that's not the fee from a one-time sale, but the fees from the fibroblasts that are created from those original skin cells.

Isn't the argument that we do it to children because they won't remember the pain somewhat ironic when you think of it?

I also want to point out that the animal rights movement is largely feminist inspired and consists mostly of women.

Women care more about a pig or chicken being in pain than they do about baby boys...WTF?

I already posted this. Thanks for stealing.

At least Erzebet Bathory had the perverse decency to murder other women instead of mutilating baby boys in her quest for youth.

hm hm hm hm hm

It'd be funny to send this to a vegan girl and see what she says

Hospitals also sell placenta, and research on spleens (to make drugs they make money on). The fact that there can be a side-effect of a procedure which leads to money for doctors does not imply an bad motive for doing the procedure.

Unless you've got doctors, hospital admins, willing to line up to say "we only do it for the precious, precious, foreskins", you're simply making a circumstantial ad hominem. Actually, you're doing that either way, but it's more persuasive if you can prove the alleged motive is true.

$100K... for a foreskin.

If this was actually true, I wouldn't even have second thoughts about circumcising my son.
