South Korea Attempting to Stop Smuggling of Flesh Capsules

South Korean customs officials are strengthening inspections in efforts to stop the smuggling of human flesh capsules.

Since August of 2011, when the first capsules were found, authorities have caught 17,451 capsules in thirty-five attempts to smuggle them into South Korea.

The Chinese pills are made from the crushed bodies of dead babies and infants, and taken by men hoping to increase their sexual performance. They are often contaminated with bacteria and other disease carrying organisms.
