Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: On Family or Doctors Making Decisions

[fullybuiltcory]

That's a really good point. You have no right over your childs body but you can cut off a healthy part of his penis? And at a time when babies need love and security the most. You seem like a genuinely nice person, but I'd like to see you take a stand against genital cutting. It would give me much more respect toward Jews to see this vile practice end!

[tijeffe]

You just said that the parents have no right over their children's bodies. If that is so, then parents have no right to mulilate their boys with circumcision. I would like to hear you state that for the world to hear. Circumcision is a horrible form of unnecessary mutilation that does not belong in this world anymore. If this rabbi is honest and not a hypocrite, he should spread the idea of stopping this barbaric practice on the penis of the newborn.

There is no GOD. Your point is mute. Do to yourself as you wish but i will do to myself as i wish.
