Circumcision of children should be highly illegal. Any health practitioner doing the procedure should be criminally liable for assault and malpractice.
I think religiously mandated circumcision is as dumb as the next guy does but c'mon now... there are legitimate reasons to do it and getting it done does not have that terrible health outcomes for the kid compared to FGM. I think society as a whole should start to think of it as a bygone practice, but putting doctors on pikes over it is extreme.
They are clearly not talking about the legitimate, medically necessary cases
not really... they said any. they didn't give any indication they might have an exception to that. sounds like they're talking about a blanket ban.
I've never heard of any circumcision opponent being against medically neccesary procedures. Only supporters using it as a bad faith argument
The rational behind it is flimsy to begin with. Stopping bacterial buildup? Sure. Then you have the whole "circumcision as a remedy for masturbation" ... which was actually a movement.
nah my nephew had to get one because his foreskin wouldn't grow. it literally was cutting off blood flow to his pecker, so they give him a circumcision. sucks but kinda had to happen.
Even with phimosis, circumcision is not needed in most cases. You can make the foreskin bigger and more flexible with stretching over time. Still, people with phimosis get circumcised without ever even hearing of an alternative option. Shit sucks
agreed. not needed in most cases but absolutely needed in some. exactly what I meant in my original comment
It's sexual assault
I would say that any... if the people live in a group or a society that is religion-based, and that religion requires it, then I am not against infant circumcision.
Basically, if you were born to Jewish parents living in Israel or Palestine or born to Muslim parents living in a Muslim-run country, then yes, participate in the culture that you were born in.
But, like in America, where every single person decides their own faith for themselves and only the most culty stay in this same religion that their parents were in, infant bodily autonomy outside of life-saving procedures should be the rule.
It seems to happen less often in Europe, but wouldn't hurt to add that as a rule there, too.
At least wait until the kid is 13 years old as a minimum.
