References given on the page for what it's used for:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?cmd=Retrieve&list_uids=12832363&dopt=AbstractPlus

Finally, we show that human foreskin fibroblast feeders are superior to the commonly used mouse embryonic fibroblast feeders in terms of their ability to prevent spontaneous differentiation after single-cell passaging. Importantly, the culture system is widely applicable and should therefore be of general use to facilitate reliable large-scale cultivation of hESCs, as well as their use in various experimental manipulations. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

Abstract

...

CONCLUSIONS:
We used successfully human foreskin fibroblasts as feeder cells for derivation and continued undifferentiated growth of hES cells. These feeder cells are convenient for IVF units, because no fetal human tissues or tissue from operations are needed.

Ignoring your point (get it?), why would anyone want to buy someone else's foreskin!?

Are you pursing a PHD in foreskin or something?

I know they use it for beauty products and skin grafts, as well as other research. Maybe someone with medical background can tell us more.

Why would you want to buy a foreskin, do they have properties I'm unaware of?

Not the whole thing, but it looks like tissue cultured cells taken from amputated foreskin. I don't know why these would be sought for research specifically, so hopefully someone will chime in with info.

I tried this once but the pressure inside of the foreskin becomes so great that after a few seconds it's impossible to piss.

It's just a cell line. It's not like they're selling the actual skin.

Thank you, I'm ignorant about this. Is it common to take cell lines from patients and sell for research?

It used to be super common. If you are really interested you should read this book

http://www.amazon.com/The-Immortal-Life-Henrietta-Lacks/dp/1400052181/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367438168&sr=8-1&keywords=HeLa

It's about the woman who had the first "immortal" cells. Basically you can keep replicating them over and over again. HeLa lines are one of the most common cancer cells used in research.

Always happy to help educate about science. By the way I gotta echo Farvacola here. What is up with your fascination about foreskins and circumcisions?
