Looong article in the Guardian about how collagen for certain beauty products may have been harvested from the skin of executed prisoners in China.The mainland Chinese have a fairly hardnosed "waste not, want not" approach to 'bad social elements'. So it wouldn't surprise me if this is true. And that the trade in such collagen comes through Hong Kong.
Amnesty International believes around 3,400 people were executed last year, with a further 6,000 on death row. Collagen? Apparently, it is injected to plump up people's lips and flatten out their wrinkles. Very popular in Britain, so they say. Full report.
