S. Korea stamps down on 'human-flesh' pills: report

[unreal.livejournal.com]

South Korea has stepped up customs inspections to stop the smuggling from China of pills made from dead human foetuses or deceased infants, a report said on Sunday.

The illegal importing to South Korea of "human-flesh" capsules -- taken by men who believe it enhances sexual performance but which could pose serious health hazards -- has increased since the first case was detected in August.

South Korean customs have so far uncovered 35 attempts to bring in a total of 17,451 capsules in travellers' luggage or by mail, the Yonhap news agency said.

The pills are contaminated with "super bacteria" and other disease-causing organisms, Yonhap said, quoting customs officials. Some pills were hidden in capsules of legitimate drugs to disguise their contents.

Yonhap quoted officials as saying they would strengthen inspections of drugs from the Chinese cities of Yanji, Qingdao and Tianjin, where many of the so-called "human-flesh" pills are believed to be produced

I love Cello!!
I remember watching it for the first time, years ago, on asain-horror-movies.com (before the site turned to shit and ads)..

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

I get so much malware from that site now :( and since myasiancinema closed down it is kind of hard to find good asian horror.

That's all I could think off when I read this article

[luvey.livejournal.com]

With it being 8am and just waking up to "human flesh" pills, dead humans, and "are contaminated with "super bacteria" and other disease-causing organisms"

.....my first thought was - this is how the zombie apocalypse begins.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

like what Max said, zombie apocalypse is science fiction as it is OUR future.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Just take viagra, wtf.

[yunho.livejournal.com]

human foetuses are more palatable i suppose. must be an easier pill to swallow than their pride, in any case.

[oonalala.livejournal.com]

A+

[falling-empress.livejournal.com]

why do men need 60000 cures for sexual dysfunction and what do women get? notttttt shit.

also, that's fucking disgusting. seriously, anything made from human organs disgusts me, especially eating placenta.

the bacteria is only the least of your problems if the capsules have Hep B or other life threatening viruses.

[marisu-dono.livejournal.com]

ia. I don't get it with ppl drinking urine, placenta etc... why would you eat something your body is secreting? The mins boggles

[laceandskin.livejournal.com]

Are you also against breastfeeding?

[marisu-dono.livejournal.com]

Breast feeding is different, it's meant or nourishment. I'm thinking more on the lines of natural waste. Though one could argue placenta is meant for nourishment... *shrugs* but then again that's for when the baby is still inside.

[laceandskin.livejournal.com]

Women in China have been consuming the placenta for thousands of years and most mammals eat it after giving birth. A lot of mothers said that they feel better after consuming it. Urine therapy is still used by many people who swear that it works.
Just because it came out of you doesn't mean it's useless or gross.

[marisu-dono.livejournal.com]

If tradition and culture enables people to feel secure on consuming things some consider taboo, well, can't argue with that. It's their personal prerogative, and if they feel better because of it, that's good for them and I say this unironicallly.

On the other hand, there are also those who have consumed placenta and done urine therapy and said they didn't benefit from the experience. Sure urine and placenta isn't toxic, but there's a reason why the body expelled them to begin with. Then again I could be wrong, medical knowledge and research still has a long way to go.

Not only that but many ED medications are covered by nearly every health insurance ever, but us women have to fight for fucking birth control.

[marisu-dono.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity, which country are you referring to? Because I actually find it interesting that where I stay at it's actually easier and cheaper for women to get birth control than for men for ED.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

The US. My friend is paying $123 a month because they don't offer generic in her area. I used to pay about $70 before my local pharmacist started offering generic. Now I pay $23. The US is one of the worst when it comes to cost of prescriptions.

[marisu-dono.livejournal.com]

Damn, that is expensive @@. Yeah that's pretty unfair for women there, double standards.

Though, some colleagues pointed out here it's cheap because we have population issues, and not a lot of people could afford healthcare. Medical insurance is almost non-existent.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

That is insane. O.O Under the NHS, birth control pills are one of the only prescription drugs you get for free from the pharmacy.

[kms012.livejournal.com]

Dudes never heard of viagra?

[yunho.livejournal.com]

that's fuckin gross.

[miki-831.livejournal.com]

Only an insane person would believe that taking those pills would have any beneficial effect, and only an insane person would have started to make them in the first place.

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

People go through all sorts of really desperate stuff in the name of sexual virility and weight loss...lol.

[bluvsjaejoong.livejournal.com]
