All the "medical miracles" claimed by the snippy crowd are BS.

What really happens to these living pieces of human skin?

• They go into cosmetics, "anti-aging" face cremes, and;

• They are often used for commercial medical experiments.

They can have my flesh once I'm dead. Till then, I'm hanging on to it, or what's left; the snippers got me, like most American boys, and I had no say in the matter. And yes, I'm still pissed about it.

The practice was adopted at the turn of the 20th century because quacks claimed it would "cure" masturbation, among other things.
