Cosmetics firm selling products in Europe using remains of executed Chinese people as ingredients

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A Chinese cosmetics company has been using skin taken from the bodies of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, a London newspaper reported.

An agent for the company informed customers it is developing collagen for lip and wrinkle treatments from skin taken from prisoners after they had been shot.

The agent said some of the company‘s products have been exported to Britain, and that the use of skin from condemned convicts was “traditional" and nothing to “make such a big fuss about,“ the Guardian reported

[...]

He suggested that the use of skin and other tissues harvested from executed prisoners was not uncommon. “In China it is considered very normal and I was very shocked that Western countries can make such a big fuss about this," he said.

Yeah, what's the big deal, not like they are doing testing on animals.

Guess he's trying to put a good face or arm or leg on things, . LOL

Seriously. These people are DEAD. They don't need their skin or organs anymore.

I say skin 'em and make me some good collagen creme serum.
