So you disagree with your earlier statement that you want a total circumcision ban?
Eh, guess you’re right. But still, telling me I’m talking rubbish when I’m giving a valid opinion on circumcision isn’t helping them change my mind here.

It's not valid, it's an opinion, just like mine; the difference is that I've pointed out nonsurgical intervention is available, as is education on proper cleaning of the glans and prepuce, while you've failed to reference any studies supporting your opinion.
-
Please, you’ve made so many points that I’ve already answered and I can’t get to everyone. Just read my other replies and you’ll see I cited plenty of sources to back up my argument against a blanket ban. I only really disagree with one guy here.
-
I agree that in chronic cases of pathological phimosis there may need to be some surgical intervention. Are you in favour of a blanket ban on non-therapeutic infant circumcision?
-
Neither. I think it should be used only where medically necessary.
-
Have you ever researched circumcision and the side effects?
-
Yeah, I had them presented to me by a doctor and did separate research of a few studies. I’m against religious circumcision but am also against banning it totally. I’m listing a few times it’s required.
-
Except it's NOT medically required, since non-surgical interventions exist. Please. Work. On. Your. Reading. Comprehension. There are no instances where circumcision is "required". None at all. There are devices that correct phimosis, and proper cleaning addresses the rest.
-
My reading comprehension is stellar. You’re saying surgical interventions for chronic infections exist, true phimosis and also balanitis. They don’t exist for anyone or I would advocate them. So the next best thing is surgery, the last possible option. Find me a non-surgical one.
