As the father of a child rescued from the Chinese "one-child" policy, I am familiar with the cultural dynamic that endangers the lives of Chinese children - particularly girls. It is an atrocity against the unborn, and an inadvertent conspiracy against girls. The government says, "If you are ethnic Han (92% of China), you may have only one child." The culture says, "Your son's family is responsible for your care in old age." Girls are the casualty. Aborted or abandoned - there is NO mechanism in Chinese law that allows one to place a 2nd child up for adoption. ALL of the families like mine that you see with an adopted Chinese daughter received that daughter as a result of abandonment. Those that are not adopted are cared for in unspeakable orphanages until they are 12 years old, and then they are "released". Prostitution and sex slavery is a huge problem, because - alas - the one-child policy has resulted in an enormous deficit of women-to-men, as an entire generation of men reaches marrying age to find that their counterparts quite simply DO NOT EXIST.
The thought that some of these abandoned and aborted children are finding their way into capsules meant for human consumption is as grizzly, macabre, and evil a thing as I can imagine. My daughter avoided a similar fate by God's will alone. We did nothing to "choose" her, aside from doing the proper paperwork and praying.
In China, I fear we are dealing with a Godless evil so unspeakable and so enormous, that when its applecart is overturned, darkness for all humanity will ensue.
Thousands of pills filled with powdered human baby flesh discovered by customs officials in South Korea
This is ground baby powder which tests discovered is 99.7 per cent humanThousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea, it was revealed today.
The capsules are in demand because they are viewed as being a medicinal 'cure-all'.
The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born.
The tiny corpses are then bought, stored in household refrigerators in homes of those involved in the trade before they are removed and taken to clinics where they are placed in medical drying microwaves.
Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummelled into powder and then processed into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health investigators and customs officers.
The discoveries since last August has shocked even hardened customs agents who have pledged to strengthen inspections.
Chinese officials are understood to have been aware of the trade and have tried to stop the capsules being exported but thousands of packets of them have been smuggled through to South Korea...

...Chinese newspapers have identified the north eastern provinces as the source of the human flesh capsules, in particular the Jilin region which is close to North Korea.
There have been disturbing reports that some babies were those who had perished in China's notorious 'dying rooms' where youngsters are deliberately left to die because they were born into families that already had the limit of one child in country areas.
In order to keep its population down, China performs 13 million abortions a year - mainly because mothers sacrifice their newborns to avoid punishment such as severe fines or even a beating by the authorities.
The Chinese authorities have confirmed that 38 per cent of women of child-bearing age have been sterilised - but the babies that are aborted do not go to waste because of the sickening trade in using their corpses for purported medicinal purposes.
Despite their disgust at discovering packets of the so-called rejuvenation pills being brought in from China, South Korean officials have refused to confirm where the babies came from or who made the capsules.
Sources said this was because they were not prepared to create diplomatic friction with Beijing, preferring to leave it to Chinese officials to do something about the horrific trade in powdered babies.
