Fetuses for Soup...?

This is definitely a shocking matter that has given such a disgusting idea to all those who have seen articles of this issue in the internet.

We have always questioned races who do cannibalism. These are tribes so to speak who have some certain belief (as was once featured in Ripley’s) that took this practice as religious in nature. the news on fetuses being used for soups for medical purposes was another thing when it comes to the concept of "cannibalism"--yes it is definitely "cannibalism" at the worsens state.

Rumors have circulated that there are places in China; one in particular is Shenzhen that take this practice not as something religious but out of vanity. They say that eating this "delicacy" has medicinal purposes that keeps man healthy and feeling younger than their years.

The world has always been used to the fact that Chinese have always included certain ingredients or should I say main courses on their platters that are said to be good for the body. from snake's blood for beverages to monkey's brain, scorpions and other animal-or-insect which are not part of the certain recommended food chain, they have tasted and continue to indulge in. they are joined in by certain herbs and spices to make it tasty and at times the world also has given their taste buds such a treat. Fetuses on the other hand are another thing. A big question mark on that matter so to speak.

First and foremost, before proceeding, the issue on abortion has been tackled time and again by many groups known to human race. Being pro-life means valuing life even that of the unborn. To say that there is life within a fetus means that it has a functioning brain activity and is growing. It may be a different individual and not part of the woman's body but within the body, yes it is. Abortion may be against the teaching of religions (and this at times makes us thankful that we have divinity to believe in) and that of morals yet when it comes to choosing which life to save, the babe's or the mother, we are bound to choose the latter. And with this said, fetus being food seems like a disgusting concept to live by. The person making such thing should be run with employment criminal check as they may have some instances of killing sooner or later.

Let's face it abortion is a cruel act against an individual (the baby in this matter) and to add it to the menu is another. People who have seen and read the pictures and articles regarding this matter has considered this disgusting and let's face it they can't be blamed. It was a normal reaction especially in matters of respect and of whatever religious dogma.

Fetuses for food started out as some sort of folklore belief that having it gives youthful glow and great health. There are those who have questioned Chinese friends about the truth whether such claims are true of not. there are those, especially doctors who have denied such an act being done on their country yet the health benefits, or the said nutrients that can be acquired in eating such a dish is not a joke at all. But what if the baby was conceived from an unhealthy mother?--that is now the question.

For babies to be dependent on the nutrients acquired by their mothers is the key factoring whether they would be healthy or not. This brings us to question now those who practice eating fetuses as a health food.

Whichever way we look at it, and no matter a person's belief that these are good (as most of them do claim that they are healthier than the placenta) is something that we could consider against what our conscience dictates. They are as human as any of us are. To take the right to live from them is a crime what more to make minced meat out of their bodies--this is degrading.

This is definitely a shocking matter that has given such a disgusting idea to all those who have seen articles of this issue in the internet. Background check on Shenzhen, a province in China, awakens us to a certain issue regarding fetuses as part of the menu—for vanity’s sake.
