Amputating normal healthy body parts is never 'safe'....

@sltr1 Very dangerous to send out message circ reduces HIV because men won't wear condom thinking cir prevents HIV.

pretty sure condoms are a much safer MORE EFFECTIVE way to prevent aids... well i guess if i had my breasts removed i will have a lower chance of breast cancer...

Put $500,000,000 of WHO funding on one table, and $500,000,000 on another. How many circ's does 500m buy? Now, how many condoms and educational pamphlets does it buy? How much does a circumcision decrease transmission by? Couple percent. How much does a condom, properly used, reduce transmission by? WHO studies vary between 80-95% reduced transmission rate.

Conclusion:  YOU ARE A LOT OF FATUOUS IDIOTS. You would rather cut off babies' penises than put money in a proven solution. Monsters.

I have a great idea. We can wipe out breast cancer right now. Just amputate all girls' breasts at 13. What a brilliant solution to the problem!

In all seriousness: the fact that medical professionals think a brutal and unnecessary surgery that reduces HIV transmission rates by a miniscule fraction, is more worthy of funding than, say, condom use education and distribution, which for the same money would decrease transmission by a far greater amount... your heads are so far up your own asses.

Frickin' barbarians! So we have all these campaigns against female genital mutilation and yet we have this smiling pretty American bitch developing a device to mutilate men...

Jesus Christ this makes me so frickin' angry!
