When I first read this comment I thought it was hyperbole (I've heard about the vaccine and melamine scares -- which harmed and killed many thousands of children -- but not about dead babies being put into pills). But no, it's real fucking thing[1,2,3,4]. What the actual fuck. How is a Hacker News comment the first time I've heard of this?

I don't understand this. They don't advertise the pills as human flesh pills, so why use that material in the first place? Why not dead chickens, or runoff from an abattoir?
