I guess all those dead baby jokes made it across the ocean and the Chinese were all like "We got tons of these things lying around, let's make it real, yo!"

I don't think I've heard any jokes about dead babies being crushed and dried in to pills to enhance sexual performance before. I'll admit, I've laughed and giggled at a few questionable jokes in my time but that's just... nah.

 

[Gikoku]

Soylent Green anyone?

Dead baby flesh to enhance one's sexual performance... just.. why?

 

[D3m190d]

Hahaha!

...

Anyway; would people care as much if the pills were made from any other animal?

Also:

"No government in the world could possibly understand the Chinese government for letting such an inhuman practice go unpunished," it said in an editorial.

Ironically, it specifically revolves around (tiny) humans.

I'd rather eat a chicken than a person

Well, me too. I just wonder why we're like that. Also, there are still people that eat... people.

Morals, that and human flesh can lead to disease and I don't think most would find it very delicious.

Morals, that and human flesh can lead to disease and I don't think most would find it very delicious.

I think the priority of those would be:
Disease - This is always bad.
Taste - Cannibals have no problem with it.
Morals - Well, it would depend on context. We donate organs to keep peopel alive. Why not food? (Just playing the devil's advocate)

 

[Gikoku]

Taste - Cannibals have no problem with it.

Reasons vary. Hormones, adrenaline (consequently increased blood flow in the body, but decreased from the skin and other areas), etc. have an effect on the flavor of the meat. Throw in the fact that some murderous cannibals are on a crazed adrenaline rush after killing someone and delicious flavor isn't really a big thing that's on their mind at that point. Some of the more "sane" cannibals have cooked and seasoned human flesh to greatly enhance the flavor.

But nobody donates organs for someone else to eat them, they donate them to replace a failing one. If someone wanted to donate their own flesh before or after their death then that's their choice, but I don't see the point given the lack of benefits.

You're missing the point here.

They don't eat the babies.

They sell it as Viagra, which doesn't even work.

I think that's already understood, the topic simply shifted to cannibalism.

 

[Tsuyu]

What I'm saying is that there are situations were cannibalism is excusable.

This, however, is not excusable no matter how you spin it.

 

[HobbeBrain]

What do you get if you hit a cactus with a dead baby?

10 points.

 

[Gikoku]

Multiple situations? Aside from a post-apocalyptic scenario with no more food, it's really hard for me to imagine cannibalism being excusable.

I agree.

Re-reading the articles they technically are eating the fetuses, just not as is. Then selling them as not only stamina boosters, but as false cures for various diseases with some of the vendors themselves being under the superstition that eating babies can provide cures.

I'd say morals are highest. I have no problem eating meat - I prefer eating freerange healthy **** but I'm poor and sometimes have to make do with nasty battery farmed crap. However, people are people. They have emotions, they can laugh, they're like me. Yea sure alot of people are starving, but I'm pretty sure there's enough food in the world as is, we don't need to resort to eating people.

Even if somehow mashed up babies turned out to be the drug from Limitless, I wouldn't touch it.

Ever seen Alive?

 

[Gikoku]

Ever seen Alive?

No I haven't, but you have aroused my curiosity.

 

[Necromancer]

Ever seen Alive?

No I haven't, but you have aroused my curiosity.

Check it out. It's a good movie.

 

[Hermit]

boy I'm so glad people have integrity all over the world
warms my heart

Apparently tests could confirm the gender of each capsule.
