I have had the “pleasure” of being in a manufacturing facility which in essence was a human abattoir where they they would harvest skin off freshly deceased bodies and dry ice it to be used in smaller skin grafts, cosmetic surgery, hernia operations etc all around the US.

It was a fairly complex process and an absolutely joyless work environment. Grey, sterile and not a window in the place. Thankfully I only had to visit once for two days to get some knowledge on their processes.

The practice is banned in the EU. Skin for similar procedures is created synthetically in a facility somewhere in spain using some form of a 3D printer.

Some jumps in the middle East. Italy and Greece barely hanging on.

That’s a fascinating story that should be better known.
A video here of Le Muesserier himself talking about it in detail. In fairness to him he owned up to it, a lesser man would have doubled down and told her to fuck off.
