China Skinning People for Irish Beauty Treatments

Dunno if 'collagen ' enhanced big lips will ever be the same again , you could be kissing whats left of someone who was skinned alive . China has a gruesome and well organised industry selling body parts it seems .

A number of plastic surgeons have told the Guardian that they have been hearing rumours about the use of tissue harvested from executed prisoners for several years.

some of the Harvesting ( its called Harvesting ) is pretty gruesome to say the least

In June 2001, Wang Guoqi, a Chinese former military physician, told US congressmen he had worked at execution grounds helping surgeons to harvest the organs of more than 100 executed prisoners, without prior consent. The surgeons used converted vans parked near the execution grounds to begin dissecting the bodies, he told the house international relations committee's human rights panel.

Skin was said to be highly valued for the treatment of burn victims, and Dr Wang said that in 1995 he skinned a shot convict's body while the man's heart was still beating. Dr Wang, who was seeking asylum in the US, also alleged that corneas and other body tissue were removed for transplant, and said his hospital, the Tianjin paramilitary police general brigade hospital, sold body parts for profit.

As to whether this will continue ?

clients from abroad are quite surprised that China can manufacture the same human collagen for less than 5% of what it costs in the west.

Well surpriiiiiiiiiiiissse that .

Please bear in mind that there is currently no solid evidence that this material is finding its way into plastic surgery products of any sort, let alone those bound for the European market. It is a cause for concern, but there's no need to be over-dramatic.

And "skinned alive" is dubious. These people are being shot.
