Racing Downhill

By Paul Greenberg

"Here are a couple of the latest milestones on the way down the slick slide known as American civilization:

News item No. 1: A company well-named Neocutis now offers a skin cream made from human fetal tissue.

To quote the company's Web site: "Inspired by fetal skin's unique properties, Neocutis's proprietary technology uses cultured fetal skin cells to obtain an optimal, naturally balanced mixture of skin nutrients."

This outfit, it may not surprise Gentle Reader to learn, is based in San Francisco, and says its product can "turn back time to create flawless baby-skin again."

What good news for those suffering from dry skin — and who doesn't this time of year? Better living through … fetal tissue."
