- psychphysic 4y agoWe do need to make better use of humans that's for sure. Organ donation rates are still pretty poor and funeral practices in the west are needlessly inhibitory to decomposition. There's been rumours of human leather forever, I reckon some people would quite like to be a jacket or suitcase!

I feel like people assume that human leather would look like human skin stitched together but would actually just look like every other leather. Google "leather before tanning" and it's just as creepy.
