  • Excellent!

    I can think of few other places where I would to be less keen to be inflicted with an open wound risking all the hazards of infection.

    Then there is the problem of keratinization etc, see-.no harmm.org

    This cruel and barbaric practice should be outlawed immediately!

  • The Legal-Fact on Forced Foreskinectomy

    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.

  • Europe has 5 to 6 time lower AIDS rate and and 5 times lower citcumcision rate, so yea AIDS argument my ass

  • spot on!

  • Score one for the good guys.

  • THANK YOU for this RATIONAL clarification. It's really a simple matter, isn't it... "Take your hands off that child's private parts!"

  • I think the point that body parts should be assumed to have value, until proven otherwise, is particularly salient.
