WHO are just being politically correct. They'd never dare advocate for female circumcision even though it is quite reasonable that removal of similar cells from female genitals would produce the same marginal benefits against HIV infection (and in fact the other similar benefits attributed to male circumcision). They are also dishonestly using the most extreme form, commonly carried out in unhygienic conditions, as their example.

It eliminates bruising and tearing during sex
Maybe the good brothers should try some foreplay and avoid trying to ram the whole thing in at once.

The other alleged health benefits are at the very least wildly exaggerated by advocates. Plus there is no reason not to wait until adulthood, and very good reason, besides leaving it to personal, to wait to allow a proper accurate cut to be made instead of the guess doctors make with a baby.

If it can be allowed for parents to order surgical modifications of their male child's genitals, then there are no grounds for not allowing the same with female children. I'm sure with some research the slip-ups, like those that kill and maim a percentage of boys every year, can be kept to reasonable levels.

AKA teenagers!
Which is why we need to get onto getting it mainstream for girls as soon as possible.

Source to info about a baby dying from contracting herpes from a priest performing circumcision, please.

But anyway, no, I don't think it's a good idea...

Circumcision is not likely to be banned due to the health benefits but a priest sucking on your baby's dick is a different issue and should be banned imo

Doesn't offer any health benefits to girls.

I'll rather trust WHO based information above noxibox's opinion, thanks.

No, it's recognising that poor hygiene and irresponsible behavior exist.

Encouraging good hygiene and responsibility has the same effect. Circumcision is a lot easier and lucrative of course. Amazing how many uncircumcised men manage to make it through their entire lives without contacting or spreading any disease with their penises.

and our counter argument is how often do snipped men hold a grudge or wish they could have their foreskin back? :p

Advocates of circumcision are a strange folk. I think it'd due to foreskin envy since they have none. :twisted:

As I have said earlier. There are actual groupl and organizations out there of men that are trying to restore their foreskins. Sure, many men dont care that they had their penis cut as a baby. But many do. Why take the choice away from someone. It is stupid.

Quite a few do but that's besides the point. Violating a child's anatomical integrity for no reason isn't justified by how they feel about it as adults.

i'm not pro-circumcision, i'm pro-parents deciding what is best for their kids :p it's like saying you're pro-abortion rather than pro-choice. i don't approve of circumcision, but i was circumcised and i'm unaffected by it, and my son is uncircumcised and i make sure he cleans his winky regularly :p

Like the Jehovah's Witness parents who refused to allow their kid a vital blood transfusion?

Even if only a few resent it in later life is reason enough to not do it at all.

I'm pro parents-being-well-informed... A difficult stance when dealing with abject dolts.

is a circumcision life threatening? :p because i can be equally petty and argue we don't need vaccines if we all just clean up and are more hygienic :p
