Executed Chinese prisoners skinned for collagen treatments
Skin from prisoners executed in China is being used to develop cosmetic collagen treatments aimed at the European market, according to The Guardian.
The newspaper says that agents from a China-based company claim the skin, which is taken from prisoners after they have been shot, is being used to develop the collagen for anti-aging treatments such as wrinkle and lip-filling injections.
Solyant lipstick. I guess Thomas Friedman is correct. The world is flat. And Chinese make the prettiest lips, as well as the cheapest DVD players.

Wow, what an interesting story...thanks for sharing it.
