* [Permalink] Eating Human Fetuses in China (04/13/2007) (The Sun /Ed : not the UK Sun/) According to a notice from the Obscene Articles Tribunal, an inspection of the content of Issue No. 304 of Taiwan's <Next Weekly> resulted in the magazine being classified as Category III obscene due to the front cover article about eating babies in China. The story was about some mainlanders believing that eating human fetuses can improve looks and heal diseases, and therefore they purchase dead fetuses from hospitals. The article tells about the prices and method of eating, including photographs of someone slicing off baby flesh. Under Hong Kong law, the Taiwan publisher is a foreign entity that cannot be prosecuted, but the local distributor may be charged and face a maximum penalty of HK$ 1 million and three years in prison.

So what did <Next Weekly> actually say? Here is the summary:

In January this year at a dinner of Taiwan business people in Shanghai, the women were gossiping about how to improve one's looks. A Liaoning helper Sister Lau interjected: "In our hometown, the best cosmetological material is placenta. It is better than taking any injection or medicine." Sister Liu recalled the hardship of the Cultural Revolution era: "At the time, we lacked everything. Who had meat? When you want to eat meat, you contact the rural midwife to ask for placenta to make soup or dumplings ... when I got married, I was frail and the family elders found a dead baby to make dumplings and soup for me ... Recently, I have stomach pains but they couldn't diagnose the cause at the hospital. So my hometown folks are gathering 'stuff' for me when I return home during the Lunar New year."

Our special correspondent begged Sister Lau to go to witness the occasion. Sister Lau said, "Nowadays everybody has enough money to pay. But the supply is controlled by the hospital and you have to get in line. Fortunately, I have relatives working there and she will put some good stuff aside for me." The good stuff refers to older fetuses which have more flesh; furthermore, males are better stuff than females.

One month later, Sister Liu was told that the merchandise had arrived and frozen in the icebox. So the special correspondent went to Liaoning with Sister Lau and they proceeded to the place of the cook, who is a rural woman experience in the process. When they got there, the cook took out a small paper box which contained some frozen meat. When the wrapping was removed, a 30cm long baby fetus with eyes closed appeared. The cook then defrosted the fetus under running water while murmuring: "The body is big. It seemed to five or six months old ..." Then she exclaimed: "Oh, it's a boy. It's a boy. That is rare." Sister Lau explained: "We got this because of the hospital contact. Otherwise, you cannot buy this with any amount of money. The mother of this baby is a university student who was forced to abort by the school."

Then the cook used the long knife to carve off slices of flesh from the thighs of the male fetus. "Fetuses have tender flesh ... but there is not much flesh except for the thighs." Then the cook proceeded with the usual method of making dumplings by chopping up the meat and mixing it with chives and ginger. Meanwhile, a soup was being made with the placenta. When the food was presented on the table, Sister Lau quickly grabbed a dumpling, took a bite and then proclaimed: "So tasty!" From outward appearance, the fetus dumpling did not look very different from regular dumplings except the meat is more reddish. She offered the dumplings to the others, but everybody else was so scared that their faces were white with fear. But the cook pleaded with Sister Lau: "My daughter-in-law has not been feeling well. Can you let her have the rest of the fetus?" Sister Lau did not agree. Instead, she took the remains of the fetus and burned it in the countryside while she offered prayers.

...wonder if this will be in the Beijing 2008 games?
