Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis. When circumcision occurs in hospitals, the foreskin is either discarded with other medical waste or it is sold to medical laboratory's for the creation of skin hormones and cosmetics. 1 baby foreskin can create over $100.000 worth of product. It is little wonder that US medical Authority's are quietly reluctant to advise parents honestly about the folly of male genital mutilation.
When circumcision takes place in the home as part of the traditional Jewish bris, the foreskin is sometimes placed in a small vial of soil to decompose and is given to the parents.
