Terminated fetuses used in skincare
Well this isnt a news article as such, but it was news to me when I heard it ^^
There's a skincare brand called Neocutis, and from what I'm reading they actually use aborted fetuses in their products. I was on their website and, although it's in more "palatable" language, it still doesnt deny it in the slightest.
This disgusts me :/ Opinions, anyone?

Don't be squeamish. We live in dead cells. Why not use some to keep you healthy?

Exactly. They could either throw them away or make them into something of use.

Would this count as stem cell research?

Perhaps part of the reason I was so shocked by this is because I am strongly pro-life.
Although it does make sense to not let the biopsy "go to waste", I still think the whole idea of humans in skincare is dehumanising and undignified for the fetus involved.
I've just learnt another skincare company uses the discarded foreskins of babies in their products. Fully, endorsed by Oprah Winfrey of course ^^

Doubtful. I'D MUCH rather see them go towards actual stem cell than skin lotion. Kind of reminds me of Fight Club.

I laughed at this so much, and when you think of what we EAT everyday this really isn't so bad...

Using dead humans, or fetuses, more appropriately, for the use of something as superficial as skincare is pretty stupid indeed.
But stem cell research is going towards curing diseases and helping the humans that are already alive but only have problems.(that this research could easily help with)
