China says no pills made from human flesh in country

Medications made of human tissue have not been found in China, the country's Health Ministry said Tuesday after reports a day earlier that pills made from the flesh of dead babies were smuggled from China into South Korea.

Chinese authorities will conduct an investigation into reports that the capsules, allegedly made from aborted fetuses, were made in China, Deng Haihua, a spokesman for China's Health Ministry, said in a report from the state-run Xinhua news agency. Similar allegations were investigated in August, and nothing was found to substantiate them, he said.

Deng said China has strict regulations to ensure that such a thing could not occur.

According to a report in the Korea Times, 29 smugglers of "human-flesh capsules" have been arrested after trying to bring 11,000 pills into the country while disguised as tourists.

More than 35 cases and more than 17,000 pills have been found by customs authorities since August, the South Korean website Dong-A Ilbo reported. 

The pills are taken by people who believe they may help increase stamina, for rejuvenation or by terminal cancer patients, according to the South Korean reports.

    To be fair, China does not have a very good record in "faked" foodstuffs...But, if this "accusation" comes from South Korean, then i will probably give China the benefit of doubt at the moment, because South Korean is not really that "good" themselves in telling the truth from "fantasy"..they even claimed that Jesus is a Korean, China belongs to them, their full nation whole-hearted support for the faking Prof. Hwang { by the way, he is back in action, hope not another breaking faking scandal from him again }...etc.,...etc., But, if the news comes from a Swede or Norwegian or Finn..then i would say it is 100% true. But, from South Korean, thanks, but no thanks

      What are you talking about? Which South Koreans are you referring to? Do you always generalize like this? I feel bad for you.

    I don't even know where to begin with all that comes out of China. Glad their state-run media clarified the matter. Bottom line, all I can do as an individual is not buy Chinese made goods, buy Chinese imports of any kind, try to avoid companies with Chinese manufacturers, suppliers or interests and obviously never travel there... if enough people do that... who knows?

    Unfortunately, this is a totally believably story because the Chinese are frankly insane with regard to using, up to now, body parts of endangered species in their medicine, now they have progressed to this atrocity. And, you will not stop them, they are arrogant in their belief that they are superior to everyone. Which is laughable. They can dispute this all they want, they are some of the most accomplished liars on the planet.
