    but can it be processed the same way? is it a semantic difference?
    don't mean to sound morbid, just curious.

    It's fat and can be used like any other fat. Fats have names e.g.

    Tallow - from beef
    Lard - from pork

    …and 'I Can't Believe It's not Butter' from human. Personally, I can't believe they thought that was a good name for a margarine. Don't eat the bloody stuff on point of principle.

    Well, I hate to tell you this, but "someone already thought about it before you". The Nazis made soap as well as candles from human fat.

    Look here:

    Well I had heard that before. I was curious if there was a factual basis for that. or not. Looks like maybe? Either way, trafficking fat is pretty weird.

    I think "maybe" refers to the possibility that this was actually implemented on a mass scale. Look here:

    Testimony of Sigmund Mazur before the International Military Tribunal in Nurenberg in the case of Danzig Anatomical Institute - Wikisource

    you will find that at least 400 corpses where desecrated in the process.

    So theoretically then, I could go for a bit of lipo and then have some clever fella make me a batch of Stubear soap..? Made from real Stubear?

    Which I would then use to lather my face. Brings a whole new meaning to the expression a*se about face doesnt it..! :-)

    I could think of a few other human waste products that you could use on a daily basis - for several purposes. I would not use human ANYTHING to put on my face, or for that matter any other part of my body. I find the concept deeply disturbing in the very least, possibly dangerous, and seriously tasteless. IMHO.

    Wikipedia depends on the authors too much.

    ...........testified that soap had been made from corpse fat at the camp, and claimed that 70 to 80 kg of fat collected from 40 bodies could produce more than 25 kg of soap, and that the finished soap was retained by..........
    70 to 80 KG of fat make 100 to 120 KG of soap.

    Wasn't italian prime minster Berlusconi having a liposuction and a soap made off the remnants?
    I guess its all based on the theory that similar always reacts best on similar.
    Which does not really apply on soap.
