Book Reveals "Fetal Soup" Served in Chinese Restaurants

*The Seven Sorrows of China gives heart-wrenching accounts of the 
brutality of China's one-child policy

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski

February 1, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Dr. Mark Miravalle's sobering 
book, The Seven Sorrows of China, gives, in heart-wrenching detail, 
accounts of the brutality of the one-child policy and its effects on the 
Chinese people.

Dr. Miravalle's account of his often intense experiences as he travels 
through modern China provides a disturbingly realistic picture of life 
outside of Beijing.

The following is an excerpt from Part III of Dr. Miravalle's book, 
entitled The Third Sorrow: Abortion Without Conscience: The 
Indoctrination of a Nation: "The most alarming," he writes, "the most 
depressing, the most Copernican revelation of all that I have been 
exposed to (including the yet more grisly examples to follow), is the 
repeated refrain that the great majority of the people in China have 
lost any concept that there is anything at all wrong with having an 
abortion. It is considered less significant than a flu shot, a minor 
procedure like going to the dentist, a simple solution to a simple 
problem that doesn't merit any soul searching for any alternative plans.

"China has become a nation who without conscience aborts their own 
future generations. And this is Satan's ultimate victory here. Is this 
conscience loss regarding the transcendent dignity and inherent right of 
human life to be blamed exclusively on atheistic Communism? Have not the 
recent influences of Western morals of secular humanism, materialism, 
hedonism, and ultimately unmitigated egoism, also contributed to this 
Chinese terrorism of the womb? In any case, the combination amounts to 
self-inflicted Chinese genocide, which so saddens the God that creates 
and loves the ethnical uniqueness of China.

"New macabre manifestations of this conscienceless abortion mentality 
include the recent opening of five restaurants in the region of X, which 
began serving 'fetal soup' at the price of 300 Yuan (approximately $40) 
a bowl! Recent medical publications have praised the exceptional health 
benefits for the consuming of 'fetal remains' (this jargon allows them 
to overlook what this really is-unborn baby bodies). Therefore, local 
entrepreneurs jumped on the opportunity to distribute this new health 
breakthrough to the chosen few who could afford the price. So evil and 
scandalous is this fetal soup trade that the Government shut down the 
Web sites advertising the restaurants, in fear that they would 
scandalize the reputation of the People's Republic to outside countries 
and businesses.

"Is it possible that the abortion holocaust and its rejection of life's 
sacred dignity has also contributed to the recent practice of 'ghost 
wives,' as recently reported in Chinese news sources? This is the 
practice of providing a woman's dead body to be buried with a deceased 
man so that the man will have company in the 'next life.' Distributors 
of the dead bodies of women found that men were willing to pay much more 
for a 'new' dead body of a woman, rather than one previously preserved. 
Murder of women from out-of-the-way places ensued to fill the new demand 
for the fresh ghost wives.

"When human life in the womb is not safe, no human life is safe. How can 
China regain the natural law dictates of conscience that tells every 
human heart that it is always wrong to directly kill an innocent human 
being, regardless of race, religion, health, age or location, including 
the womb (historically man's most secure location, and now his most 
dangerous)? Through God, through prayer, through education, and through 
the witness of individual heroes, saving one person, one unborn child, 
at a time.

This part of the book also goes on to describe more of the process of 
the one-child policy:
"A certificate of permission is required to have a baby in a Chinese 
hospital. The government tells you how many children you can have and 
when. In the city, married couples are limited to one child. In the 
farming regions a family, if the first child is a girl, can sometimes be 
permitted to try for a boy as a second child because of the need for 
boys on the farm. Even in this case, the government will control when 
they can try for the boy, with the requirement that it be at least five 
years after the first child. The Government also uses psychological 
pressure to keep the policy. If a couple in the country have only one 
child, then this child will probably be able to have two children. The 
policy varies from region to region.

"A couple must go to the hospital with their permission certificate to 
deliver their child. If they arrive at the hospital without the 
permission certificate, hospital officials contact the Population 
Police. At this point, the Police decide, based on the circumstances of 
the family and the history of the couple, what is to be the fate of the 
family. The child will be injected with poison on the spot. Or the 
couple will be fined and their home burnt down. Or the couple could lose 
their jobs, and in some cases, cause the loss of their employees' jobs 
(one teacher told me that if his wife didn't abort her second child, he 
and the school principal would both lose their jobs). One Protestant 
woman refused to abort her second child and lost her own job at the 
hospital she worked at. Still another possibility is that the child does 
not receive official recognition that it exists and does not receive the 
'Chinese Social Security Card.' The child therefore is not technically a 
citizen, nor can he or she go to school or participate in any right of a 
citizen. One remedy is to try to find a retired and sympathetic midwife 
who can deliver the child at home. This saves the baby's life, but does 
not guarantee his registration.
