Keep reading Johnny:

urea  noun    (Concise Encyclopedia)

"One of the simplest organic compounds and the first synthesized from inorganic raw materials (see inorganic compound), by Friedrich Wöhler (1800–82) in 1828. It is the diamide of carbonic acid (HNCONH; see amide; carbon dioxide). The chief nitrogenous end product of protein breakdown in mammals and some fishes, it occurs not only in urine but also in blood, bile, milk, and perspiration. It is one of the industrial chemicals produced in vast amounts. With its high nitrogen content and low price, it is a major agricultural fertilizer and animal-feed ingredient. It is also used to make urea-formaldehyde plastics (including foamed plastics; see polyurethanes), to synthesize barbiturates, as a stabilizer in explosives, and in adhesives, hydrocarbon processing, and flameproofing.

Protein break down would be dead skin rotting would it not?

Yes, but not in the same sense. Dead cells breaking down is a totally different concept from the body breaking down proteins.

Hey Sandman, the discussion has moved to something far more important! ;D

with all due respect to your cogent arguments (which I don't agree with on some points), the whole post was a red herring.
