I believe mutilating/modifying anyone else's body, including a child, should be illegal. But that's just me.
Despite the fact that it has no demonstrable negative effects, may even have (minor) positive health effects, and is a sacred traditional and religious practice of millions of Jews and Muslims? I wouldn't choose it for myself/my child, but making it illegal seems rather extreme.
At least give the child a choice to make the decision for themselves once they hit puberty or some older age. As for the health ‘benefits’ I guess it just makes hygiene easier. I just have to be more hygienic than a standard American male :3
i remember seeing someone tell their story of getting circumcised later on b/c being uncircumcised was giving them health problems (something bout it not being able to fully retract(?), it wasn't like lack of hygiene), & the exp. of getting it done later in life making it painful
Yes that is the condition known as phimosis. King Louis XVI is said to have had phimosis and had to undergo a circumcision so he and the Queen could have an heir to the throne.
I think that was the name, yeah. It sounded very painful. And I think for them it just never went away so they had to get it ('cuz I mean they were in like their mid-late 20s I assume). I'm just glad I wouldn't have had to worry about that, esp. reading that it's common.
Well yes that’s the reason I wouldn’t say make it illegal. There are legit medical conditions that require circumcision.
No one wants it to be illegal to do, IF there is a medical issue that requires it, like every other medical issue surgery should be the last resort, not something they do because it might have an issue later. Circumcision is the only surgery done this way, before issues happen.
