I like the idea of a tumour burger, but I hate it when they don't pick out the hair and teeth. Blech!

Would you apply this to the entire population or be selective about it? Or maybe you feel it's not a problem (the Chinese wouldn't agree). Another possibility is taxation. What can you add to this discussion?

Simply teach everyone about supply and demand of natural resources. Explain the facts of ecosystems and how balance throughout this symbiotic biosphere is of paramount importance. And in the US reverse the law, that currently allows more exemption tax credit, for each additional child, instead decrease the credit after the first two children. One to replace each parent. I would seek to put into place laws that aim to balance the vegetation to animal ratio, (CO2 to O2), explaining to all why it's important.

Once dead baby pills become fashionable and the health food industry realizes the money that can be made marketing them, the aborted fetuses will be in such high demand that the problem of over population will quickly be resolved.

..............Thousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea, it was revealed today.

The capsules are in demand because they are viewed as being a medicinal 'cure-all'.

The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born.

The tiny corpses are then bought, stored in household refrigerators in homes of those involved in the trade before they are removed and taken to clinics where they are placed in medical drying microwaves.

Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummelled into powder and then processed into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health investigators and customs officers.................................
Dead baby pills will save the day
