sultan_emerr Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 "Police in Tanzania have recently arrested almost 100 people suspected of murdering albinos and/or selling their body parts to witchdoctors. Apparently the limbs, hair, and even genitals are used in some folk medicine. The government has responded by pulling the healers' licenses to practice. The healers are reportedly ignoring the ban." = http://www.boingboing.net/2009/01/26/witch...rs-defy-ba.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Bad enough when they poach animal species to the brink of extinction for their quack medicine, but PEOPLE? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sultan_emerr Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Bad enough when they poach animal species to the brink of extinction for their quack medicine, but PEOPLE?I wonder how the buyer can tell for sure that they are really genitals from an albino, and not some fake deal, like buying a replica Rolex watch?

JDoors Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Why am I even thinking about answering this? I suspect the people who use this type of "medicine" aren't as "white" as the body parts they'd be buying. And if the "doctors" believe in it they'd use "quality control" to ensure the best possible outcome. Thank goodness, huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
