I searched, and couldn't find anything.  I found the link below on another forum.

Assuming everything stated on the website is true (consensual donors etc), discuss the moral/ethical considerations

http://www.humanleather.co.uk/

For the record, I am undecided/on the fence/still forming an opinion/not quite sure what to make of it.

Wow, that really is rather odd.  I suppose there's no harm in it if it's what they wanted doing with their skin when they died, What I can't get my head round is who would want another persons skin, apart from slightly eccentric family members wanting a keepsake lol

I have no issue, neither does the donor, they're dead.

Now eating a chinese fetus in a backstreet restaurant, that's another story.

We cater to a small but highly discerning clientele.



They are amongst those lucky few who have everything they could possibly desire.



Our supply is restricted and we prefer to keep it that way as we are the only firm in the world that crafts these special products.

I'm going with:   not a real business/service, but a bunch of PETA followers making a point.

I love the title of this thread...  lol

Anyway, this truly is a way to get under someone's skin.  (sorry, had to)

That being said, it's extremely strange, but as far as I can tell, completely ethical.  While it could very well be a PETA stunt as Orange suggested, wouldn't it be interesting to see the response of a PETA member if you walked up to one and explained that your jacket is made of human leather?

This has got to be an anti-animal products PETA put on or an anti-PETA put on. The website is really well done for a hoax though.

I think I'll order the furry bowling ball carrier in natural tones.

It's not subtle to be a PETA stunt.

PETA stunts are blunt and offensive.

The infamous scrotum coat...now you can have one too.

Seriously though while there's a chance this might be real, I'm holding out hope that this is just some messed up stunt by some random group that I hope I never encounter.
