Whose Body, Whose Rights? Circumcision Ethics (Part 1/2)

Examining the Ethics and Human Rights Issue of Infant Male Circumcision.

http://www.circumcisionvideos.com/wbwr.htm


"In a new era of children's rights, this independently produced two-part social issue documentary compassionately explores genital mutilation of unconsenting children, euphemistically termed "circumcision." It boldly and responsibly addresses these vital issues long overdue for inner reflection and cultural self-examination:

• history and medical ethics
• consequences of circumcision
• evolving religious attitudes
• legal and constitutional issues
• foreskin functions
• men's awareness and uncircumcision
• medical conscientious objection
• children's rights

This video- the very beginning- "dont worry. It won't hurt him a bit" and the baby screaming, convinced me to not to circ my now-13-year-old.

@Nathan1097 If he's having foreskin problems you should read up on "circumcision alternatives".

There's no reason to circumcise!

I'm glad you decided not to, He probably wouldn't be very happy after it...

No infant ever consented to genital mutilation.

Not one national medical association on earth (not even Israel's) endorses routine circumcision. This includes the bodies who have revised their policies SINCE the research on HIV in Africa has been available.

Foreskin feels REALLY good. HIS body, HIS decision.

@TLCTugger OMG Ron! You legend!

Thanks for the device! ;)

Please watch with an open mind...

@IbnNero Your ignorance is appalling.

[EliteDoomer]

@LethalDozePL Many people don't want to think that they could have hurt innocent people so badly so they throw a wall up and cotton their ears. Nor do they want to think that they have been hurt so badly... vicious circle ensues. When many are confronted with hard facts they laugh and insult the messenger. Their pride is more important than knowing the truth which is utterly pathetic and disgusting.

Willing ignorance is the root of most major problems we face.

@IbnNero No lol its not true Homosexuals are born like that it is part of there brain which has made them sexually attracted to ones own sex

[fiesta1117cc]

Gosh do those American doctors still carry out those ancient circumcisions on infants? In the UK & Europe they stopped circumcision as far back as the late 1960,s & the doctor will only carry out that operation under medical grounds as a last resort other than that it would be illegal under UK law

[LethalDozePL]

why are people so deaf to reason?

[wdmm94]

Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of a man's penis. The five most sensitive areas of the penis are on the foreskin. The transitional region from the external to the internal foreskin is the most sensitive region of the fully intact penis, and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis.

intact male genitalie will lead to homosex among men.thats why you never see arab fags or judaistic faggots.only intact men take it in the ass

[endofscene]

Circumcision is a practice motivated by fear, not love. Religion may describe it as a test of your love for God, but no loving God would ask a mother to do such a thing to her baby. Even in the story of Abraham, God did not let Abraham kill his own son.

Circumcision originates out of fear and is perpetuated by fear. Those who do it to healthy babies for socalled spiritual or medical reasons do not understand that the true nature of spirituality and healing is love.
