    Don't have any cosmetic work done myself........but just wondering would it bother anyone (who has work done)to be wearing fat from dead people on their face,or in the body,if it makes you look good.
    I mean obviously its the norm to be using fat from bodies in cosmetic procedures.Did'nt know that myself till i seen this story.
    Four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing dozens of people in order to sell their fat and tissue for cosmetic uses in Europe.......................Police said the gang could be behind the disappearances of up to 60 people in the region. .........an international network trafficking human fat" was operating from Peru.

    They could ask the Israelis how to get money for kidneys, eyes, etc - no need to waste good organs.

    Bizarre.
    Sure if they advertised free liposuctions to Americans/Mary Harney they wouldn't need to kill anyone.

    This is a sad proof of where AH is these days..

    There is a thread titled "Wearing Dead People on your face" that has been running foor 40 min.. And it has one two replys...
    What the hell man??


    OT.
    The first person was arrested earlier this month in a bus station in Lima, carrying a shipment of the fat.
    If that was a random search.. Can you imagine the poor cop?
    "Could you please open your bag sir as we suspect you of trafficking narcot.... :eek:"

    I thought this was going to be a thread offering a unique outsider's perspective on Halloween masks or something.

    Instead it's just a run-of-the-mill people being murdered for their fat that gets smuggled across the border and then injected into other people's faces story.

    Boring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,166 ✭✭✭enda1


    Seems a bit ridiculous and incredulous to be honest when fat is supposedly quite cheap and a waste by-product of many surgeries. Though can't think of what other use they would have of it...

    Fine, but everyone will officially be able to call you assface without violating a personal abuse rule.

    Brian Cowen has refused to take part in a campaign to endorse the procedure, and has denied that he's had anything done. In other news, King Kong's arse is missing.

    Just read that there. Sick stuff. It was also sold to phareucitical companies in Europe. We could've been swallowing pills made from human fat.

    TBH, for a woman, it's got to be disturbing to think their make-up might contain the remains of dead human fat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,015 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    This is the bit that impressed me.............
    The liquidised product fetched $15,000 (£9,000) a litre and police suspect it was sold on to companies in Europe.

    €10000? approx per ltr of liquidised fat.

    Now i know it would vary,and obvisiously they would have targeted really fat people to maximise profits.
    But i was wondering the average human?,how many Ltrs of fat would be the norm .
    What is the average return per body???
    Anyone know?,any medical students out there?

    With recycling all the rage nowdays,could you arrange to sell your body fat when dead.If you had 10ltrs of body fat thats 100k profit for your family.

    There was thread on this earlier today.

    The fat was sold to European cosmetic and pharmeucitical companies. That's probably the sickest part of it.

    Did you think that the hospitals just threw away foreskins? The big racket is US hospitals is that they charge you for the circumcision procedure and then profit from it again by selling them on to bio-medical companies.

    Read this and this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,018 ✭✭✭Mike 1972


    Ok guess you have me on that one.

    Although Im still more bothered the fact that some hospitals are removing foreskins without there being any actual medical necessity for doing so rather than where they might be ending up. (Then again the latter may be contributing to the former).

    They weren't getting any money for it, they where hoping to get money for it.

    $9000 per liter of fat is what they where hoping to get.

    Which doesn't make sense when you could offer someone Lippo suction for free and get more than that for less than half the price.
