The people taking it from dead humans?
The peope taking it from dead humans without their consent after they were executed?
Or all of the above?
I found all three to be repugnant. :yuck: Having any dead animal injected into me would be disgusting, and they do it for vanity.sid_galt said:About the last two. Most of the people buying this product wouldn't even be knowing what this is made of.
Assuming that the Guardian is to be trusted: Many of the prisoners in China are political prisoners. What the Chinese are doing basically amounts to killing innocent and guilty people and then using them to manufacture products. This is just like the Nazis.
Seems to be just a continuation of a British tradition. Back in 1752 parliament passed an act giving the medical profession the bodies of executed felons for dissection. As this didn't satisfy demand and body snatching was still rife parliament then extended it to paupers.sid_galt said:http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1568467,00.html

Art said:The same basic motivation being as now the rich wanted treatments which required human experimentation so who better than the 'great unwashed' to provide the raw material.

Skyhunter said:No doubt though, the Chinese Govt. is at least as proficient at propaganda as the US.

Was the last sentence meant humorously? As in, pro-US propaganda?sid_galt said:The US government is not a propaganda machine. It's far better than the PRC by any rational measure.
And if it hadn't been for the US, the Chinese would have been doing this over half of the world by now.

As they have private ownership of property they have a mixed economy not a communist one.sid_galt said:I do. It's communist. If you deny that, you are denying reality.
My point was that if the US government can convince people to support a war under false pretenses that the Chinese government can convince people that the victims gave their permission to allow their bodies to be harvested.sid_galt said:The US government is not a propaganda machine.

The entire pharmeceutical industry is too.Skyhunter said:I think the whole cosmetic surgery industry, except in the case of birth defects or disfigurement is immoral and barbaric.

I wouldn't say it is entirely, there are good things that come from it. The biggest problem is the "Food and Drug Administration, especially under Bush, is run by ex industry execs. so they tend to promote pro industry policies. If people were told the truth, and encouraged to eat a plant based diet they would have little need for all the drugs they must take for all the diseases associated with poor diet.Smurf said:The entire pharmeceutical industry is too.
Hippocrates, the person the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take is named after, said, "Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food."
I agree. I meant to subject it to similar extreme exceptions that you applied to cosmetics. It was too weakly implied I guess.Skyhunter said:I wouldn't say it is entirely, there are good things that come from it.
