Company Attempting To Regrow Foreskin Of Circumcised Men - Young Turks mention Foregen
"If someone has grown up male in the United States, odds are that he doesn’t have a foreskin. Most Americans likely haven’t given this much thought, and if they have, it’s probably along the lines of “good, it’s better this way.”

But a growing number of men known as "intactivists" are expressing outrage about being circumcised — which they call an “unnecessary amputation” — before they were old enough to understand the implications of the procedure and consider providing consent.

As adults, short of undergoing a complex surgery that transplants scrotal tissue onto the penile shaft, or practicing a body mod technique called ‘tugging’ that can sometimes stretch the remaining foreskin tissue back over the head of the penis, these men have been left to wonder: “What would sex be like with a foreskin?”

Now, a company called Foregen purports to soon be able to help these men answer that question by using regenerative medicine to regrow their foreskins — much like a salamander can regrow a severed appendage."
