China 'Dead baby Pills' Sold in South Korea?

Dead Babies Used in Illegal Pills, Claims SBS

If you read the headline "Dead Babies Ground Up and Sold in Pills", would you believe it? We wouldn't. However, according to NewDaily, South Korea's SBS TV is reporting exactly that, claiming that Chinese pharmaceutical companies are procuring dead babies (stillborns, dead infants, abortions) and using them to manufacture "man pills", i.e. aphrodisiacs.

The pills are then allegedly brought into South Korea for sale. An undercover news team supposedly bought the pills, the contents of which turned out to be 99.7% human.

SBS is airing a documentary on the "dead baby pills" on August 6, in which they claim to show proof that a hospital is selling the remains of dead children to pharma companies, which are then dessicated in "medical microwaves".

Dead Baby Pill Story is Disturbing, but Is It True?

This story is disgusting enough to reach viral-story critical mass. Still, there are two levels of confirmation that need to happen:

1. Is SBS really going to air a documentary accusing Chinese hospitals of selling dead babies? [Looks like the answer is "Yes"; see link below]
2. Is this accusation true? [Not confirmed]
   

Here is the SBS schedule listing for the "dead baby pills" story: the rough English-language translation uses the term "baby powder", but with a different connotation than is normally intended. To be honest, we hope this is a hoax.
