Dead Baby Flesh Capsules Seized In Korea... I'm not making this up

Today's headline in the Huffpost....

Capsules Made With Dead Baby Flesh Seized By South Korea
 
Thousands of smuggled drug capsules filled with powdered flesh from dead babies have been seized by South Korean customs officers.  The customs authorities said more than 17,000 of the capsules had been illegally brought into the country from China since August 2011. The powdered flesh is believed by some to cure disease and boost stamina.

However, officials insist that the capsules, which contain flesh of dead babies and fetuses, are full of bacteria and pose a health risk.

Reports from Associated Press suggest that the capsules were made in China from dead babies whose bodies were chopped into pieces and dried before being turned into the powder and placed in the capsules.

"It was confirmed those capsules contain materials harmful to the human body, such as super bacteria. We need to take tougher measures to protect public health," a customs official was quoted as saying by the Korea Times.

You know, I consider myself to be a pretty liberal fellow, mostly non-judgmental, accepting folks for what they are.   But now and then something like this comes along that's a wake-up call for just how fucked up a great deal of humanity really is.

It's shocking to learn how many people on this earth are still living in the 16th Century.  Oh, they have all of the new wiz-bangs and gadgets and even indoor plumbing, but culturally and morally...

But what's most distressing about this is not the fact that such caveman mentality exists, but that the supposedly "enlightened" authorities are more concerned about the threats to public health than the more dangerous underlying "beliefs" that spawn this kind of thing in the first place.

  1. As always, we can't do squat about beliefs, but behavior can be legislated.

    Holy Shit, this is sick.

  2. Korea was just a test market...soon the capsule contents would be showing up in all exported products coming from China. The one country on earth that allows abortion right up to the moment the child draws breath. Although I am pro choice but that is fucked up.

  4. Reading this, at first I thought no way this is true. However, I suppose it could be because as you say there are a lot of people still living in the 16th century. I really don't know what to think here. I'm off to read more about it.

  5. It's truly disgusting. After reading the supposed benefits from the pills, I wondered what exactly our pharmaceuticals were made out of... and if they were any better...

  10. This sort of blows the belief that Western Civilization can be blamed for all the perverted sickness in the world out of the water.

  11. I suggest they give it away to all the Chinaman, if the Nanny state is right, it become a self-regulating industry. (ahh oh yeah, and chinawoman, you will find them just a mere three steps behind.)

    Power to the People.
    Chairman Mao sends his regards for the New and Improved Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
