China Struggles to Control Human Flesh Pills
Beijing -- South Korea has seized thousands of smuggled drug capsules filled with powdered flesh from dead babies, which some people believe can help with sexual performance or as a good supplement to patients after surgery.
According to Sing Tao, the capsules were made in northeastern China from babies whose bodies were chopped into small pieces and dried on stoves before being turned into powder. Since last August, Korea's customs office has discovered 35 smuggling attempts of nearly 17,500 of the human-flesh capsules in the luggage of tourists and in international mail. Korea Customs Service warned the capsules of human flesh contained bacteria and other harmful ingredients. Korea media reported that Chinese hospitals and abortion clinics are working with China's black markets and pharmaceutical companies to produce capsules and charge 800,000 korea dollars ($748 USD) per 100 capsules.
On China's side, spokesperson Deng Hai Hua of China's ministry of health said the authorities have not yet found any case of flesh capsules in China since last August. However, they will work with police department and customs to investigate the case. The news also triggered nationwide medical safety concerns in China. A large number of college professors called for the government to have clear policies to control medical products. Namkai University associate professor Hua Lin Soug, whose research mainly focused on medical law, said the regulations of medical law is unclear and caused unsafe medical practices.
A scholar of Chinese academy of governance, Ying Lian Hu, said that central authorities have less control over medical products due to the fact that medical factories and pharmacies provide financial supports to local governments.

Human Flesh Capsules Seized in South Korea
Human flesh capsules crafted from dead babies sounds like the premise for a particularly grisly horror-themed motion picture. Unfortunately, this unusual story has its roots in real life, which, Ive found, is always a touch stranger than anything youre likely to find on the big screen.
According The Associated Press, South Korean authorities have seized thousands of tiny capsules containing the powdered flesh of dead babies that many believe can cure a wide variety of diseases. The pills were apparently manufactured in China using a process that involves chopping the small corpses into pieces and drying them out on a stove.
Although all of the capsules were confiscated by officials, no one has been charged with any crimes as the amount was considered too small to be punishable by law. Since August of last year, there have been 35 instances of people attempting to smuggle the capsules into the country. In many cases, these deranged little pills have been disguised as stamina boosters in order to slip them past customs.
Chinese authorities have launched an investigation into where the capsules were manufactured and who, exactly, was behind the process. However, despite being dedicated to finding the nefarious individuals behind this heinous crime, Chinas State Food and Drug Administration and its Health Ministry has yet to comment on the situation.
