I received an email last week which was quite disturbing and, to say the least, disgusting. It is about dead babies that can be bought from hospitals in Taiwan for $70 to meet the high demand for grilled and barbequed babies!,I was emotionally affected by this e-mail. I am sure this must be a hoax, although the message comes with an attached slide show, showing how the baby is prepared, cooked and eaten.

Ok the thought of consuming an infant is one thing-how gross! But to find it as a form of entertainemnt or art?!?! This Zhu guy should be sreiously questioned for sanity and have his so called art pulled. Who would find this humorous or interesting? Man what is wrong with people!!!!

this is not humourous but there may be psycho people who do this cruelities for the babies ,that's a theory I'm inclined to agree with, because, if zhu were telling the truth he'd probably be serving in jail time. there's no reason to suppose China is any more tolerant of cannibalism than the rest of the world, and indeed the fact that Zhu's work was refused for an official exhibition bears that out. the fetuses Zhu allegedly cooked and ate were obtained illegally.

yes its very disgusting,i am very much disturbed now ., in any case, it's hard to tell whether the horrific photographs circulating via email are real or fake. i do know because I found documentation on them at a site called Chinese-Art.com that they were created by a conceptual artist named Zhu Yu.

I has to be. Never heard of such a thing. they have been known to eat anything, but that is just a little bit too far out there. They are trying to make money from the showing. We in the USA do not put up with that kind of garbage. We would throw up but in jail for that kind of behavior.

I think we can safely say that the Chinese as a people do not routinely eat babies or fetuses; nor do Jews, Christians, witches, aborigines or any other groups accused of doing so over the centuries. There's simply no proof of it. There has never been. What the historical record shows is that the allegation has surfaced time and time again as an ethnic and religious slur. The claim that baby or fetus eating is an accepted practice in China (or Thailand, or Japan, or Korea, or Israel, as other variants of this same rumor claim) is more or less a modernized version of an ancient legend known as "Blood Libel." It has typically taken the form of one culture accusing another (or a subculture) of ritually sacrificing infants and in some cases eating them. The Greeks accused the Jews of it, the Romans accused the Christians, Christians accused the Jews again, and so on throughout history.

i know chinese are good people, i do'not want to make any rumours, this case is being investigated by the scotland yards ,the artist himself, whose past accomplishments include an opus entitled "Canned Human Brains," has claimed in interviews that he used real aborted fetuses stolen from a medical school to create "eating people" and that he actually cooked and ate them "for art's sake.
