How did this lawsuit not end the horrible disgusting practise of genital mutilation of defenceless children? I mean for fucks sake its done as a superstitious cult ritual. How hard is it to stop shit like that in 2012?
So next the patients would be sueing the doctors for removing their tonsils when it is argued that the tonsils do not need to be removed.
Circumcision is hardly an issue,but many people make it an issue while the majority of citizens have FAR MORE IMPORTANT issues to contend with rather than now having to think about the end of their penises because a very small percent of the citizens are making it an "important" issue and demanding it be addressed.
how did he win????? just because his mother didn't remember signing the paper? she didn't complain when they just took her child and circumcised him??? come on this is ridiculous. ( i like the indian story. I am curious what it would be like to have my skin)
I came close to comitting suicide in puberty because of the Mangeled circumcision chosen for me. Maybe there is hope after all, in sueing the infant mangelers out of buisness. All those involved in allowing me to be circumcised are dead, except my mother, and she has to live knowing that her ignorant decision caused my brothers to grow up and commit suicide.
@MacHead31 He never said it prevented anybody from reaching an orgasm. That doesn't mean some leval of pleasure was deprived from them. Who knows maybe he does have complications.
@Nifrayu If he does have problems it is all mental, meaning he thinks he can't enjoy sex so he doesn't. He will probably restore and go through the placebo effect, then he will report a greater sex life.
When a medical book says one thing then this guy says another it is hard to believe him, especially when I saw a girl put a beer bottle up her and it didn't look like she was having problems. A sybian is suppose to be better than sex (4 girls) and it doesn't have a foreskin.
@MacHead31 I meant complications like damage to his penis or maybe he experiences pain. It could also be that he does not have enough skin to become fully erect. These things happen sometimes..
@MacHead31 "He will probably restore and go through the placebo effect, then he will report a greater sex life."
A placebo effect could only give you what you expected. But when restored men experience sensations that they never HAD before and never even knew about, it is far more than just a "placebo effect".
@MacHead31 "If he does have problems it is all mental"
THAT could be true if there were no real physical reasons. However, having a part of one's body surgically altered IS physical. There is REAL reason to attribute problems to the physical damage that has occurred.
@MacHead31 and uninformed opinions onto others, or at least educate yourself on the topic so you can talk FACTS rather than worthless anecdotes and myths.
You are quick to call that guys opinion crap, when it is perfectly valid, but seem to think your opinion is somehow more valid or more correct when it is neither.
As someone who has never experienced sex intact any comment you should make about it is pure speculation, so I won't be taking it seriously. Go and read a book, I am bored now.
My parents told a "doctor" to circumcise me when I was a defenseless infant. My parents are not qualified to give medical advice. The "doctor" who accepted medical advice from my parents is guilty of malpractice as far as I am concerned.
Glad to hear about lawsuits. Just about every mother in the 1960's was con'ed into agreeing with circumcision. At once, every American was born with a defective penis that was in immediate need of cosmetic surgery.
The World Health Organization is practically alone in the professional medical world in its stance regarding AIDS/HIV and circumcision. Nobody else takes it seriously because first, it is NOT a cure, nor does it prevent AIDS/HIV. The studies on this were heavily flawed to the point of fraud as anyone who read the studies could see. Their disregard of the scientific method was obvious by their manipulation of data to get the result that they wanted.
@timothyjames24 Obviously you didn't, because those facts are real - as you'd have discovered if you did any real digging. Circumcision does NOT prevent AIDS. The only thing that is effective are safe sex practices. BTW - in many places in Africa where mass circumcision have taken place, the rate of infection has actually INCREASED. This is something else you would have discovered if you were actually inclined to learn something new about this issue.
@timothyjames24 - regarding HIV and circumcision, no, the facts aren't clear. Just google 'flawed HIV African studies' and you'll see why. It's a misconception that cutting off part of a child's penis will save them from HIV/AIDS. In fact, in America - where we have routinely been cutting our children - our rates of such diseases are actually HIGHER than in countries where babies are NOT routinely put under the knife. Americans have been sold a slopjar full of lies about the 'benefits' of circ.
@timothyjames24 You're the only one trying to distort the facts. It's a statistic that 150 boys are killed by circumcision, that's in the US alone. Circumcision does not save any lives. Your only evidences comes from randomized trials the data collection methods of which were designed specifically to indicate that circumcision would reduce HIV. I have some bad news for you: not one population study launched to confirm these findings could find any correlation between circumcision and HIV.
@timothyjames24 Your entire argument is a Godwin, yet you accuse us of mongering fear? Not a single data analysis of populations vulnerable to AIDS has found that circumcision will prevent HIV. In a majority of those populations, HIV is actually higher in circumcised men. I have my own statistics proving that circumcision ends the lives of about 150 American boys each year. Let's see those "medical facts" behind your claim that circumcision will save lives.
these settlements piss me off. you will never know if you won or lost. however, I assume a substantial amount of $ was handed out in the settlement, which is a sign of a loss. sue now!
The practice of MGM [also] in this country [ the USA ] violates numerous laws and international treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Convention Against Torture, the Constitution and Penal-Law.
It is in violation of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which GUARANTEES EQUAL-PROTECTION for both girls AND boys under the law.
Yes Charlie, you dumbass. Some might laugh. Some might laugh to watch a doctor whack the end off of your dick, eh? You sound as though you are so very in favor of circumcision. Why not step up to the plate, Charlie?
@QUESTI0NSnANSWERS , yes, you are talking about YOU. It is wrong when it is done when the foreskin is healthy. In other words you want boys rioutinely circumcised to prevent those few cases that might or might not happen. How ironic you use the term pro-choice but will deny that choice to your children. I am sure women who get breast cancer are not telling other women to remove their breasts to avoid cancer.
@QUESTI0NSnANSWERS , you are so brainwashed. Getting rid of any body part is the only gauarantee that you will eliminate any ailment that is associated with it that may come up in the future. So I guess all women should removed their breasts because a lot more women will develop breast cancer than any man who will have any problems with his foreskin. I am uncut and I never have a problem with it. Perhaps you should wake up form your ethnocentric little world: uncut men are the norm.
On Demerol she had no idea where the hell she even was. Therefore the consent is invalid because the person consenting was not in a state of sound mind at the time of consent. Also the person consenting was not the person who was having a part of their body removed without medical need. HIS BODY HIS DECISION!!!!
@TheWorstWarlock A movie doesn't involve the permanent amputation of tissue from your body... What an absurd comparison! Besides, as a baby he didn't buy movie tickets or consent to unnecessary genital surgery. Ridiculous.
The forced mutilation of a child should be perfect ground for a class action suit all hospitals and medical personnel who have performed circumcision. That may be the only way to stop the ignorance and malfeasance.
William Stowell is making a huge impact on the future of men's body rights in America. It is great to see men standing up against this barbaric practice that harms both men and their partners.
I'd say that Doc Johnson has a Docked Johnson and is just there to make everyone feel better about themselves, their cut penises, and their poor decisions. But then what else would you expect from the media?
Good on William Stowell. Do you have any footage of the next segment where the presenter asks Dr. Tim Johnson about the "medical science of circumcision"? And who is Dr. Tim Johnson anyway? Does he even have a foreskin or do they consider him an expert on penises because his name is Johnson?
why can't one mainstream media program interview a doctor who actually knows what the hell he is talking about on circumcision, instead of a hand-picked pro-circ'er or "neutral" spineless doctor (referring to Tim Johnson). ugh
How dare Charles Gibson compare genital mutilation to a "bad movie." Bad movies end after a couple hours. Genital mutilation is for the rest of an individuals life. Myths and religion can no longer be used as an excuse for genital mutilation (also known as circumcision.)
@chadpopstar Exactly. That was outrageous. Comparing watching a movie which you didn't like to having part of your penis amputated as a baby? People CONSENT to watch movies. This presenter (or whoever he's working for) obviously doesn't get or doesn't want to get the issue of Human Rights and Genital Integrity.
It just shows how the American media trivialises and minimises this issue in order to cover their own arses, stay in denial, and keep making money off of it.
The problem was that they asked "Doctor" Tim Johnson about this to mollify their own scars and guilt, and he claimed it was "okay either way". Obviously not or Will wouldn't be litigating. Duh! Another example of how terrible the media is. Sure, ABC presented this, but what spineless fools they are. No mention was made about the fact that if Gloria Steinem has rights, so does William Stowell! It's like a Twilight Zone episode or I'm on glue. The health dep. wiped their ass on my complaint.
Please understand that I do not defend routine infant circumcision. All I am saying is that consent to circumcise, obtained from a mother who has recently given birth, is not informed consent judiciously given.
I would welcome a law saying that minors may not be circumcised without a compelling medical reason.
@pf126p : Medicaid will not pay for it in 16 states. BC/BS will not pay for it in other states, including California. When Medicaid drops coverage, there is a tendency for private insurers to drop it as well.
The American upper middle class hate the pointed penis so much that they are willing to be out of pocket in order to eradicate the point. This is a perversion.
@alnot01 The middle class are always the most prudish and repressed people because they actually care what other people think of them. They do everything they can to "fit in" and "look good". And the upper middle class has enough money to waste on doing this.
No woman who has recently given birth should be asked about any non-emergency medical treatment for her newborn child. Her judgement is likely to be impaired. Circumcision should be agreed before admission to the maternity ward, in writing, after Mom and Dad exercise due diligence. To ask the mother to consent to her son's circumcision while she is on pain killers or the like should be actionable. No valid informed consent is possible under such circumstances.
Stowell is not an effective spokesperson for the cause. But Llewellyn is.
It is very true that the AAP and the AMA skew the debate by ignoring evidence bearing on the damage circumcision does to sexual pleasure and functioning. They claim that there is no "evidence" bearing on this. But the burden of proof rightly rests on those who advocate circumcision.
I bet the % of American adult white males who are circumcised is a lot higher than 60%.
@alnot01 "I bet the % of American adult white males who are circumcised is a lot higher than 60%", yes, the figures are racially skewed, but the rate is falling, so the %age being cut today is much lower than the %age of cut men.
Thats sad. I am 26 and i was not circumsied and i thank god for it.
sad to see that ppl do this to there babies. they should at lest make a law to where the kids can make up there on minds. of weather or not thay want to have it done are not. like maby wait in tell there 18 years old or somein. this is just plum sad. ppl should find new ways to prvient STD. etc
Cicumcision need to be made a crime it is after all mutilation cutting of normal healthy tissue is mutilation The Hypocratic oath for doctors i'm paraphrasing here is to do no harm. By definition circumcision is mutilation therefore harm.
if they convinced themselves that it was "for his own good," they probably would have sliced off his entire package and then punished him for possessing private parts
@jx14aby: Right - and there is no specific exception in law for the male foreskin, just custom. The hard part is going to be finding a clear-eyed judge who is not blinded by prior assumptions.
To me it makes absolutely no difference whether the parents conscent to it or not or if they are druged and not thinking clearly when they make the decision. IT IS NOT THERE CHOICE TO MAKE. HIS BODY HIS CHOICE, MY BODY MY CHOICE!!!
Unless you want to face future lawsuits, don't amputate genital tissue from those who did not give consent to have their genitals permanently altered!
