Foreskin: A Sexual Toy, A place to stash your weed, or an amazing medical device?

That's right. Foreskin. Apparently, there has been some brilliant person/team that came up with the idea for the finest way to recycle I've ever heard (or, at the very least, been amused by).

Right now, Dr's across the world have taken to the idea of using foreskin cut off during circumcision and are using it for skin grafting for diabetic and burn patients. According to one professional, from one circumcision, they can use that skin and grow enough from it to cover an entire football field. It's an amazing idea, albeit a little gross. Which one would you rather walk around saying? The skin on my arm is brought to your viewing pleasure from A) my own ass or B) a baby's foreskin? Tough decision.

Unfortunately, while it may be amusing and educational and flat out impressive, it does present some problems. According to one report, more infants die each year due to circumcisions than adult men do from penile cancer (one reason Dr's say to have the foreskin removed to begin with). With every up there's a down, and this is it. The procedure itself isn't want kills the baby, but the aftercare and potential for infections afterwards.

My advice for any new parent? Do a little research first. Research the procedure, the studies and the Dr's themselves before you make a decision like that for a brand new infant. Then again, that is sound advice for anything. You can never be harmed from too much knowledge on any subject.
