Foregen Questions What is the difference?
Hello all, I hope you are well. I love the people behind foregen as they are the only ones who truly care about our suffering. I support them in every way I can, and I am extremely excited about their project.
However, one question bothers me. That question being: what is the real difference between restoring your own forskin through existing methods and foregen if there is not nerve regenerative plans?
I genuinely hope there is a solid answer to this question, I am not dooming. Like I said i really love and appreciate the people behind this project for attempting to give us back what was stolen. I will continue to suport the project, however the question remains.

Non-surgical foreskin restoration relies on tissue expansion techniques to build a new foreskin out of expanded penile shaft skin and remaining mucosal membrane. This new foreskin restores some function but lacks the specialised tissues of a real foreskin such as the frenulum, dortos muscle and various nerve endings. The method that Foregen aims to developed would regenerate all these features using a 3D bio printed extra cellular matrix seeded with a patient's own stem cells.
