== Fitzpatrick defends himself ==
The invention of TNX Recovery Complex earned Fitzpatrick the dubious honor of being named Allure magazine's "physician woh who has most influenced beauty."<ref>{{REFnews | last=Euringer | first=Amanda | coauthors= | url=http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/01/30/Foreskin/ | title=Foreskin Facecream | date=2007-01-30 | publisher=The Tyee | quote=Dr. Fitzpatrick, whose invention of this cream earned him the dubious honour of being named Allure magazine's <q>physician who has most influenced beauty...</q> | accessdate=2011-09-25

According to Fitzpatrick, using [[foreskin ]] fibroblasts to make the cream is "ethical", because the company only uses the growth hormone from growing artificial [[skin ]] derived from infant foreskins,<ref>{{REFnews | last=Euringer | first=Amanda | coauthors= | url=http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/01/30/Foreskin/ | title=Foreskin Facecream | date=2007-01-30 | publisher=The Tyee | quote=...using foreskin fibroblast to make cream is ethical, because the company does not put any actual human tissue in their products... | accessdate=2011-09-25}}</ref> and because the [[skin ]] tissue is not obtained from stem cells or aborted fetal tissue.<ref>{{REFnews | last=Euringer | first=Amanda | coauthors= | url=http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/01/30/Foreskin/ | title=Foreskin Facecream | date=2007-01-30 | publisher=The Tyee | quote=...because you are not having to use stem cells or fetal tissue in order to still get young tissue. | accessdate=2011-09-25}}</ref> Fitzpatrick defends the use of foreskins to obtain fibroblasts because [[circumcision ]] is such a common surgery and it would be a waste not to use them for benefits. "Twelve years ago when this was done there would have been no objection to using [[foreskin ]] tissue."<ref>{{REFnews | last=Euringer | first=Amanda | coauthors= | url=http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/01/30/Foreskin/ | title=Foreskin Facecream | date=2007-01-30 | publisher=The Tyee | quote=Foreskins were used because that is a common surgery and the [[skin ]] is thrown away, so why not use it for benefits?
