Fetus Soup?

[MC Just]

So Im listening to Fr. Angelus Shaughnessy on EWTN, and he mentions that in some places in europe, not only do they abort the babies but they make "fetus" soup which is a expensive "delacasy"

That is the most sickest thing ive ever heard.

[Thy Geekdom Come]

That's the absolute most disgusting thing I've ever heard.

Satan is a tricky little creature. He likes to make sin only slightly worse than the last one...a slippery slope. When he gets you to say that they aren't human, then he can get you to agree to eat them.

When humans are being murdered in what is supposed to be the safest place in the world, any evil can happen.

[StColette]

That's just beyond sickening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! reminds me of Swift's "A Modest Proposal" weird that I was talking about that article by him last night and now I read this

I remember reading that back in Sophmore year of high school, but I've forgotten what it was about, now. Can you remind me exactly what it was all about? (I know it's off topic... :-/)

It was probably the worst thing I've ever had to read

Summary of Swift's " A Modest Proposal "

The full title of Swift's pamphlet is "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burthen to their Parents, or the Country, and for Making them Beneficial to the Publick." The tract is an ironically conceived attempt to "find out a fair, cheap, and easy Method" for converting the starving children of Ireland into "sound and useful members of the Commonwealth." Across the country poor children, predominantly Catholics, are living in squalor because their families are too poor to keep them fed and clothed.

The author argues, by hard-edged economic reasoning as well as from a self-righteous moral stance, for a way to turn this problem into its own solution. His proposal, in effect, is to fatten up these undernourished children and feed them to Ireland's rich land-owners. Children of the poor could be sold into a meat market at the age of one, he argues, thus combating overpopulation and unemployment, sparing families the expense of child-bearing while providing them with a little extra income, improving the culinary experience of the wealthy, and contributing to the overall economic well-being of the nation.

The author offers statistical support for his assertions and gives specific data about the number of children to be sold, their weight and price, and the projected consumption patterns. He suggests some recipes for preparing this delicious new meat, and he feels sure that innovative cooks will be quick to generate more. He also anticipates that the practice of selling and eating children will have positive effects on family morality: husbands will treat their wives with more respect, and parents will value their children in ways hitherto unknown. His conclusion is that the implementation of this project will do more to solve Ireland's complex social, political, and economic problems than any other measure that has been proposed.

i've heard in some places that it's all black market and hidden but touted as a way to stay very healthy to eat a fetus every day or week or something.... sorry if that's gross. it's what i've heard.

[St. Catherine]

Are you really serious?? I have never heard of anythinglike this before. That is way beyond the most disgusting thing that I have ever heard. Who are these people??? WHY????

[1337 k4th0l1x0r]

My first thought was to search snopes. I did come up with this.

[url="http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/fetus.htm"]http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/fetus.htm[/url]

As far as soup goes, the site says nothing. Snopes itself doesn't say that something isn't happening, but that the reports and pictures that go with them are questionable or fabricated.

[MC Just]

Yeah Well I trust Fr. angelus shaughnessy.

[Norseman82]

Reminds me of Charleton Heston screaming "Soilent green is made of people!!!!"

[Socrates]

Don't know the facts on "fetus soup," but from things I've heard, it wouldn't surprise me - people seem in race to bring our civilization to ever new lows!

And, a note to StColette, Swift's "Modest Proposal" was intended as satire, mocking certain cold-blooded economic and social theorists of the time. (Swift did not actually advocate killing babies or cannibalism!) Shows how times have changed - back then, it was obvious that something so outrageous was not to be tacken seriously - today, I'm sure there are many who would take it at face value and call it a good idea!

I wouldn't doubt that Father Shaughnessy would not want to lie, but I have to question the *source* that would have given him this information, because I have read that this was in either China, Hong Kong, or Vietnam.

Are you certain he said Europe, and not China? Because that is where some stories report it to be done.

Yes, true or not, it is beyond sick.

[PedroX]

So, without any proof to back this up, we are to just assume that Europe endorses cannibalism? Come on guys, lets not act like fundementalists here. Give me proof, and then I'll believe it.

This is not to imply that the priest in question was lying, but rather to question the veracity of his sources.

peace...

[MC Just]

He didnt say where. He said he wouldnt say the name of the country...

This sounds phishy.

Then again, a holocaust sounded phishy to the Western world too ("Oh no, Hitler couldn't possibly be sending Jews to death camps") so who knows.

[Laudate_Dominum]

I first heard of this at least a year ago, not fetus soup specifically but the eating of aborted human babies for "health" reasons. I can't prove it exactly, but I have strong reason to believe it is true.

Also I can testify that in our own country you can buy aborted babies, either whole or just certain body parts, no questions asked. I've seen the catalogs.

The fetus eating that I heard about was in Asia, but in Europe I've heard of beauty creams and things made from aborted baby tissues. You'd be surprised what is done in America too.

What a world.

yep yep right you are it's a satire but the subject matter reminded me very much of this topic.

[jmjtina]

they're are actually baby parts in some really expensive lipsticks and other cosmetics.....I'm not as skeptic when it comes from what a friend saw on EWTN, the fact is, it truly is a possiblility. I don't think the priest said it with the effect, "You HAVE to Believe me! This is TRUE." I think he was just laying it on the table at what true evil we are up against.

As L_D stated, you can buy aborted fetuses from a catalouge....pick your month and they deliver. You'll see it more in public university, usually, all 9 months. I saw a "display" in which they even had twins in a jar.

The soup saddens me. Let's pray for an end to Abortion.

Lord have Mercy. Christ Have Mercy.
