BEIJING, August 10, 2011 (LIfeSiteNews.com) - Chinese health officials are investigating a report that an unnamed hospital there is selling pills containing the ground-up corpses of babies as an aphrodisiac.
An investigation by South Korea’s SBS TV claimed that a hospital in China sells dead infants and their placenta to a factory that grinds up the corpses, places the material in pill capsules, and sells them to South Korea. The pills are described in South Korean media as “man pills,” or aphrodisiacs.
The SBS TV crew said they purchased the pills and sent one to South Korea’s National Forensic Service, where it was found to contain material that matched human DNA 99.7 percent. Experts reportedly found bits of hair in the capsules, and could even determine the child’s gender.
Later, as reported by the Times of India, reports emerged in South Korean media that the same China-made pills had been seized by customs officials in Seoul.
The outrageous claim has led to investigations in both countries to discover whether and how such pills exist.
“South Korean customs are trying to track down any buyers or sellers,” said one official with the South Korean Embassy, according to the Times. “The authorities do not have any evidence so far that supports the documentary’s allegation, but human ingredients would certainly be considered illegal in South Korea - if it is really happening.”
