Seoul Times letter to the editor claims baby eating increases sexual power


Chinese Eat Baby Soup For Sex | DeafCube
According to DeafCube, the Seoul Times reports that eating human babies is at an all time high. Poor people in the country are reportedly selling their fetuses for an artful dining experience and for "sexual power" and health reasons.
 "An email report received by the Seoul Times confirmed that news with several vivid and appalling pictures of human embryos and fetuses being made into a soup for human consumption," DecafCube reports.
 The babies are boiled with expensive herbs and chicken for about eight hours. It is considered a delicacy that may be purchased from a restaurant for about $4,000 US. Taiwanese babies are sold to restaurants that provide this dish for $70 US, the Seoul Times newspaper reports.
 The Seoul Times reports the story under "letters to the editor" section of the online newspaper. It is unclear whether or not the newspaper verified and vetted the information published in the letter-to-the-editor section before publication.
