Talk:Child cannibalism/Archive 1

Why is this in the Satanism category?

If there is NO PROOF or record of this activity in satanism then why is it listed in the 'satanic and occult crime' section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.103.42.81 (talk) 13:42, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Introduction

Reports later explained that the images were part of an artist's exhibition (Zhu Yu) and was not a real fetus but just to be in a contemporary artwork

This introduction is misleading, there is no 'explanation' that the photos are fake in any of the cited sources (in the sense that a explanation gives further details how it was done), rather in the text from virginia.edu he is quoted as saying:

First of all, we did not use corpses in a conventional sense,

because all of the human bodies we employed were specimens that had

been medically treated. Their cells had been conditioned by

formaldehyde and could no longer rot or be infected by germs. These

so-called bodies are germ-free and had already been turned into

chemical substances.

This could be taken to mean that he himself did not consider a fetus that has been conserved in formaldehyde to be a real human corpse, but I don't think most people would agree with his definition.

The about.com article is rather week and does not offer much more than speculation on the issue, the writer posits that because he is a concept artist he is a lier (which very well may be true but there is no way to tell). What is clear from the two sources is that the photos was used in a art piece and that Zhu himself claims that he ate a real human fetus:

One widely publicized report quotes Zhu as

saying that "to create Man-eater, he said he cooked the corpses of

babies that had been stolen from a medical school. Zhu admitted that the

meat obtained from the bodies tasted bad, and said he had vomited

several times while eating it. However, he said, he had to do it 'for

art's sake'"

So long as it can be done in a way that does not commit a crime,

eating people is not forbidden by any of man or societies laws or

religions; I herewith announce my intention and my aim to eat

people as a protest against mankind's moral idea that he/she cannot

eat people.

But if it actually was fake or not is not at all clear from the sources.

Dismissal

The tone of this article seems to imply that child cannibalism has never happened among humans. Is this true? (Albert Mond (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC))

I agree, the article seems to imply that it is a falsehood, whereas the photos from multiple of these occasions seem difficult to defy. JudgeX (talk) 20:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Check this link. Does this really disprove that child-cannibalism does not exist in any part of China? Need to add this more in detail.
