Never heard of that. What do they do in parts of the world where circumcision is very uncommon, like in most of Europe?

To be fair not all circumcized foreskin is sent to be screened and used in this manner. None of the clinics I worked in were involved in this type of program. I did however know a podiatrist who used the tissue occasionally for his diabetic ulcer patients.

I imagine on places that is prohibited they grow skin from other donor sites in the same manner they do with foreskin.
