If that's true, it's very ugly...

Aborted fetuses in China. I heard this from a professor who visits her sister in China. It was almost a year ago. And I think there were news articles and circulating articles online about this. They say it makes the skin beautiful and the body stronger. Personally I think it's grotesque. Whether this is true or not is up to you to decide and do more research. I'm just sharing what I've heard.

Yes in some ways but that that bad. In some places(first I heard was England) after a child is born those closest eat the placenta for good luck. And I also heard that somewhere in the South Pacific(New Guinea or Java?) People eat their dead relatives out of respect so that the dead still are a part of them. But serious cannibalism I wouldn't really know. I would hope not but it is happening somewhere to all man kinds dismay legalized or not almost always by a psycho though

Yes - in your local MacDonald's they serve burgers and nuggets made with human flesh .... well they ran out of frozen burgers and cardboard nuggets!! What did you EXPECT them to do? Make them from dead cows and chickens??! What an outrageous notion! You disgusting animal hater!!
And you know those microwave oven meals you sit and eat in front of the tv? All human flesh! And that pizza you ate? Not ham! You know that turkey you had over Thanksgiving last year? Someone's unwanted 3 year old.
You are either one SICK, disgusting, and narrow minded person, (more Americans eat people than in any other country - although ALL countries have the occasional psycho with a taste for human flesh!) ... or perhaps this is your idea of a joke - inspired by your complaints about 'nonsense questions' last week!
As to the idiots who claimed that Chinese people (or any others) eat babies or foetuses, that was a HOAX!! One of the most FAMOUS hoaxes ever! Famous as in WELL-KNOWN!!! But it looks like at least TWO people have had their heads in the sand for too long to realise that...!!
Isn't it amazing that in these supposedly 'tolerant' times (HA! What a joke!) people STILL point the finger of suspicion at 'foreigners' - STILL make outrageous false allegations based on hate, fear and ignorance? These days, the worst insult you can give is "you eat humans!" the second is "you eat an animal that I don't think you SHOULD eat (whales / dog / shark / cod / horse / cat / rat!)" How long before we revert to the old chestnut "You're a WITCH!!!"?
THIS is the world we live in today. And if you think MY sarcasm in the first part of my answer is bad, just look at the people who are pointing fingers in all seriousness!

I've heard that some Chinese people eat babies. Since they can't have more than one kid by law and they don't have a lot of money to get abortion, they kill the babies that they can't have and eat them to hide the evidence. But I don't know if this is true or not because I've never been to China. It can be just a rumor. And I could be totally wrong.

Cannibalism. Although rare today, the most common form of cannibalism is endocannibalism: eating one's deceased relatives. It's considered a sign of respect, and a way to help their spirits live on. The Yanomamö of Brazil practice it by crushing the bones into a powder, mixing it into gruel, and drinking the mixture.
