Dude. How creepy is this?
Pro-life...Pro-Choice...whatever, using fetal tissue to create skin care products?
ICK!
From article:
In fact, the Neocutis website openly explains the history of its PSP ingredient:
"A small biopsy of fetal skin was donated following a one-time medical termination," the website states, "and a dedicated cell bank was established for developing new skin treatments.
Originally established for wound healing and burn treatments, today this same cell bank also provides a lasting supply of cells for producing Neocutis' proprietary skin care ingredient Processed Skin Cell Proteins."

Women use horse placenta as a hair product but this seems a bit weird!

I hear if you suck the blood out of fetuses directly it is much more effective in making you look young.

I'm sorry, but you have no clue the situation of the termination. There are medical reasons for termination. While doesn't make this seem a little less weird.

Their product doesn't even conform to current knowledge of fetal wound healing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19803418?itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed _ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum&ordinalpos=1
They only mentioned the use of immortalized fetal skin cells because it was likely to garner controversy, I'm guessing. The actual mechanisms of scar-less wound healing involve far more factors than can be stimulated from a simple emulsion of proteins extracted from fetal cells.

Medical reasons occure less than .2% of time in pregnancies. I'm a pro-lifer.
I know the facts of the industry of abortion. Follow the $. It's all about the $
