'Supposedly, there was a rumor floating around that somewhere in China, pills made out of dead babies were being sold. A Korean television documentary team decided to track down the truth behind this rumor, and reportedly found a hospital that sells dead babies — mostly abortions or stillbirths, with “mostly” being a scary word here when you think about it — to medicine companies. The team found that when the hospital has a “deceased baby case,” the staff are instructed to immediately alert the medicine company.'

1. I think I saw that in a movie

From the photo, it looks more like herbs then babies.

2. I wonder what the "Chinese medicine is superior to western" folks would say

:shrug:

3. The tea pills I take are a very old formulation. No "dead baby" on the ingredient list.

I checked.

8. WTF does a scam have to do with chinese medicine?

Seriously. Apples and oranges.

[arcane1]

12. This is supposedly (if true) presented as medicine n/t

[MedicalAdmin]

16. So are stomach stapling and nose jobs.

If it walks like a duck... etc...

I'm just saying that just because some con uses a loophole in the licensing laws to drive a truck through while misrepresenting themselves no more makes them involved in chinese medicine than being a muslim makes one a terrorist.

4. Worth reading the full article. That's pretty messed-up! No, that's VERY messed-up.

6. I don't believe it

Same story line EXACTLY.
Really, I saw the movie. It was fiction then.
It is fiction now.

9. This is a big ole' creaky fucked up world with some scary things in the cobwebby corners, Vanje.

And sometimes in the not-so-cobwebby corners. As a fan of news and history the practice of eating dead babies in ground up powdered pill-form rates pretty low on the unbelievable scale for things that go on on this planet. But that's all I'm gonna say about that. I think our point of agreement is that we both hope it's fake.

7. Agreed

I didn't (couldn't) post the entire article, but if true, sick, very sick.

It's all about the cock over there.

5. Soylent Green is PEOPLE! n/m

10. Real or not this is why we need more, not less, involvement by agencies like the FDA

I hope the Tea Parties are paying attention.

[Big Blue Marble]

11. FDA is bought and paid for by Big Pharma

They are no longer in business to protect us; they are in business to protect the drug companies.

13. And those who peddle poltices, potions and tonics answer to whom?

I'm not sure I'm ready to consent to a self-regulating industry just because it claims they sell "health" products and/or are "organic."

14. 99.7% human.

"From the test results they were also able to tell the gender and found hair and nail remnants."

So, you can select boylent green or girlent green.
