Butcher with a medical degree.

I do not perform circumcision and I don't defend the medical establishment. Most doctors would consider my tone anti-circ but I tried to stick to the facts and stay neutral in this video. This is a controversial topic but I think terms like "butcher" and "sexual wounding" are abrasive for a procedure that is so widely accepted in the US. Pediatric residents are required to learn the procedure and many families pressured us to perform it...

[Bonobo3D]

Just because something has been practiced for years and is widely accepted in the US does not make it ethically right. Segregation was also practiced for years in the US and many "fine" and "upstanding" citizens supported that. Lobotomies too.

Just acknowledging in a chirpy tone that circumcision is "controversial" is hardly the kind of awareness anyone should look for in a physician. You're sitting on the fence, where are your ethics?

[healthykidtips]

I agree with your first paragraph. I don't really like personal attacks but I suppose I'm making myself an easy target by posting videos about a controversial subject. I don't perform circumcision... but I choose NOT to call my colleagues "butchers."

[EnoFrisk]

This spineless "doctor" has a slippery grasp on the concept of medical ethics.

Well, my friend, YOU SHOULD call your medical colleagues who think nothing of circumcison, you should, MY FRIEND, call these 'educated assholes' as BUTCHERS.

Have courage. Call them BUTCHERS!! That is what they are. Disgusting child abusers who do not undertsand the HYPOCRATIC OATH.

@PoliticalExile3 Not really. Only reason was southers Couldnt grow up enough to let their previous slaves be equal to them. They're like children that never learned how to share properly.

U forgot to mention that several places all over the world including some doctors in the Usa DONT use pain killers on there children as young as infants to possiblely 10 years of age or older. You also forgot to mention that a notable number of Doctors in other countrys as well the Usa DONT wait long enough for lidocaine to take full effect turning the surgery into a multilating torture game for the doctor to play. Also its a cosmetic surgery people cant tattoo kids so why is it legal?

There is a saying that Hell have a special place for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

[lyutsin21]

In all due respect, you see, you are a shmuk...I am ethnically Jewish and I hate that my penis was butchered...this should be illegal just like female mutilation became illegal in the US in 1996!

[seaco2000]

Circumcision is controlled by inhumane powerful medical people!! They are powerful professional liars who are doing it for the money!! In their hearts, they don't give one flying fuck about babies!! They make parents sign a Human-Rights Violation Form to have their son Raped by a Circumciser with Instruments!! The truth is hidden that Circumcision never needs to be done!!!

[Simp44]

This shit is barbaric.

"modern medical societies generally take an even stance"

Oh, an even stance. Like destructive elective surgery is ethical when the person electing the surgery is the same person as the person receiving the surgery? Or would that be an even stance, as in non-therapeutically cutting a chunk off a child's genitalia is ethical, as long as at least one parent signs a consent form and the bill gets paid?

Hey Dr. Davis, your even stance is showing despite the best efforts of your left hand.

why would you put a freaking blade to your penis
