the local newspaper, or maybe some "gently used" ones at Goodwill perhaps?
America has a huge market on foreskins so before long you might be able to find them elsewhere besides the hospitals that sell them for thousands of dollars for research, cosmetics companies, (penis face cream anyone? Oprah swears by it!)
and skin grafts for burn victims. (That one I can see, but not for a profit)
There's such a big market for your baby's foreskin that many "studies" have been done to prove how bad foreskin is for your child without mentioning that America is in the minority and around 80% of the world is uncircumcised and get along just fine! There's foreskin all over the globe of all ages.
Researchers conduct studies on a subject when they want a specific outcome. Studies are easily manipulated. Like a study done in the 90's that men with foreskins are more likely to get AIDS. Of course to make the study come out the way they wanted it to, they did it in Africa where majority of the population is uncircumcised.
If it were done in the U.S. where the minority of the population is uncircumcised, the results would be higher AIDS cases in the circumcised vs uncircumcised.
In this Blog I'm not advocating which is better one way or another (though I may do so in the future) Right now I just want to offer that I don't think it should be so profitable to start snipping on Junior's willy and justify it with "scientific data" when the end result is always about money.
