An investigation will be launched into allegations that drug capsules filled with powdered flesh from dead babies were being manufactured in China.
The official Xinhua News Agency quoted a ministry spokesman as saying an investigation in August found no such capsules in China.
A new inquiry was opened after new reports of the pills being smuggled into South Korea yesterday.

South Korea has seized thousands of smuggled drug capsules filled with powdered flesh from dead babies, which some people believe can cure disease, officials said Monday.
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, the Korea Customs Service said.
Customs officials refused to say where the dead babies came from or who made the capsules, citing possible diplomatic friction with Beijing. Chinese officials ordered an investigation into the production of drugs made from dead fetuses or newborns last year.
The customs office has discovered 35 smuggling attempts since August of about 17,450 capsules disguised as stamina boosters, and some people believe them to be a panacea for disease, the customs service said in a statement. The capsules of human flesh, however, contained bacteria and other harmful ingredients.
The smugglers told customs officials they believed the capsules were ordinary stamina boosters and did not know the ingredients or manufacturing process.
Ethnic Koreans from northeastern China who now live in South Korea were intending to use the capsules themselves or share them with other Korean-Chinese, a customs official said. They were carried in luggage or sent by international mail.
God damn. I mean, what comment can be made on this one? Kevin, I’ve been waiting for some kind of book from Cryptogon. But this article leaves me staring into blank space, how about / Cryptogon’s Believe It or Not!
Behold, the coming of the Zombie Apocalypse…
If swallowing pulverized fetuses (ppssibly cut with toxic waste) isn’t enough to get the dead walking the streets, I don’t know what would be.
Maybe this is true and maybe it isn’t.
The world we live in is certainly f**ked up enough for it to be possible.

Lest we forget all the horrific acts — some real but not quite what they seem, others entirely fictional — later discovered to be carefully constructed so as to drive desired policies into effect. Engineering “public opinion” (which is itself a manufactured concept of the media age) toward a specific solution is a long-standing technique of the media manipulators.
