Child Cannibalismdescribes the act of eating a child or fetus. Accounts, especially modern ones, are often rumors or urban legends. There have been some media stories pursuing incidents involving the consumption of children and fetuses. Controversy was sparked when images showing what appeared to be human fetuses were being published in China. Reports later explained that the images were part of an artist's exhibition (Zhu Yu (artist)) and was not a real fetus but just to be in a contemporary artwork. The artwork is called "Eating people" and was made to protest against cannibalism.
