Most Disgusting Chinese Story Ever
If true, this is the most revolting thing Chinese people have ever put in their mouths. And that's saying something.
I really hope this South Korean report is false: Chinese pharmaceutical companies are buying baby corpses from hospitals, grinding them into pills, and then selling them as stamina boosters. Feel free to gag uncontrollably now and then keep reading.
According to the documentary created by South Korean SBS TV, the baby material comes from stillborn births and abortion clinics, and is produced by a microwave drying process.
SBS claims a DNA test found 99.7% human stuff crammed inside the tablets—which Google disturbingly translates as "man capsules"—and was fresh enough to distinguish gender. This is probably the most revolting thing I've ever read, so hey, we can all go to sleep tonight knowing we accomplished at least that much. Now if only there were a baby pill that would erase my brain and destroy everything involved in this story.
If you speak Korean, the source material is here.
This has to be an internet rumor, right? Right?
RIGHT?

This is revolting. I wish I was not assaulted with that bit of information just before dinner time.
Re: Most Disgusting Chinese Story Ever
Sorry. I tried to time it so it would hit west coast readers at 4:30. Which is dinnertime for people much, much older than you.
I'm hopeful someone will disprove this within the hour.

Dinner's in the slow cooker. Which means I've been smelling my delicious Mexican chicken tinga for hours, only now my mind perceives the aroma as Chinese baby corpses.
Hopefully one of our Members can read Korean and will disprove this disgusting story.

The Chinese are known for a plethora of remedies that seem to be a serious reach. Would like to file this with Urban Legends, not sure though.
As a sidebar, when a soul is convicted of a Capitol crime, there are vans with lethal injection equipment that come to towns when called upon to dispatch the convicted.
Thoughts ?

Do the vans have "FREE CANDY" painted on the side?

I don’t have a link that debunks this story, but Snopes reports a very similar story as false. See here:

The burden of proof is on the folks accusing the Chinese of cannibalism. But I do expect this rumor does instantiate a different but far more common vice among human beings.

This would seem to be a violation of the Chinese rule that (paraphrasing), "all things whose back faces the Sun are edible, except for heart of wolf and lung of dog."
Oh, wait, babies don't stand erect. Never mind.
Sorry, Diane! (scurries off to finish up cooking dinner).

Not sure, but if they played the songs ice cream trucks have, that would be ?

I seem to remember that some 19th century Europeans took pills made from the dust of mummies.
So, nothing new under the sun.
A quick google search just lent me this passing reference to mummy pills: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/unquiet-mummies.html
Also a book published in 2006: http://books.google.com/books?id=vyYjyzYXzWgC&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24&dq=mummy+dust+consumed&source=bl&ots=Kyt2y-DHta&sig=3CTY4H0Hu4IqnscFAO2zQopWA8o&hl=en&ei=fIo8To6PF8aftwe_9PmRAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CFwQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=mummy%20dust%20consumed&f=false

Just got 545 miles done for the day, placed my order in the restaurant and looked at my Droid to catch the latest. I'm thinking I'll change my order to saltine crackers and water. Rob, I saw some strange culinary habits in Korea, but I pray that this story is a stretch. Check please.

Relations between South Korea and China have not been cozy for, well, ever.

Aside from the distubing thoughts of the baby pill idea. Corpse Medicine was in favor not too long ago in Europe. Used mostly among the Royal households, not sure how that applies on the Grim Scale.
The Galvanic Response medical devices of this century are at least amusing.

After this credit downgrade, we need all the reasons to feel superior to China that we can get.

Re: Most Disgusting Chinese Story Ever
What's disturbing is that we weren't all immediately and absolutely positive the story was false. That says something ugly about China, no? -- organ-mining China, that is.

RE, Rob, A shade off topic here. After listening to the podcast today, one thought If Keynesian Economics is supposed to be so great. Why was it never made into a Board Game ? Take it from there...
