Hi there, I wouldnt be at all suprised, as I remember many years ago when I was pregnant being taken round by a midwife to look at the Labour Wars etc. and someone asked "What happens to the Placenta" The midwife answered , " We get paid 50p a placenta by a chemical co, which then extracts what they need to use it for make-up etc. This was not a wind up by her, she was serious and said it generated a large income for the hospital. So I now buy all creams and make-up from the body shop.

Very easy to answer. No.
It is illegal to use the body parts of a human being without the consent of that human being or the consent of a parent, and further is is illegal to sell it. While there is a black market for human body parts, it only applies to organs, most especially hard to get ones such has hearts, and lungs. There is simply no market for the foreskin of a baby.
Further, there are no company's that deal in circumcision. It is generally performed by a priest, or a doctor.
If preformed by a priest he will not be able to collect enough foreskins, without them going bad, before he can make any kind of profit off of them.
If preformed by a doctor the foreskin is put in a hazardous wast envelope which is incinerated. Of course they have the same problem a priest would have in trying to make a profit, not enough circumcisions a day to build up a good stock.
There is one exception in which it might be used: skin grafting. Even then it would simply be easier to use the skin available from the patents own body, by cultivating it. I doubt a baby's foreskin has ever been use for skin grafting, but I am not 100% sure that it has not.

You can tell its a bank holiday- some people have gone completely gahgah. Babies foreskins? Whatever next- bees bollocks, wasps willies or hornets hernias? The mind boggles!

I haven't heard of this before, but I wouldn't doubt it if they are. I mean they already do shampoo's, soap's, and lotions that are made out of a woman's placenta! Unfortunately we live in a sick world where anything for beauty counts.

Sounds like a bit of an urban legend to me, I doubt it's true.

Yeah they make briefcases out of them...be careful though, if you rub the briefcase too hard it turns into a suitcase.

No, but I understand the rabbis who perform it don't get much pay, but they get plenty of tips.

No, they are using them for making wallets, but if you rub it enough, it's a suitcase.
