People wanting to justify circumcision need rationales other than ' coz parents make other decisions for kids.' There are some things we let parents do to their kids (eg make them take medicine) & some we don't (tattoo them). Why is penis trimming *specifically* on the 'yes' side

No, the burden of proof is on the other side that it *can't* be justified and *needs* to be banned. Not the other way around

It's not a factual claim. It's where the line is drawn. I have said many times why I think CC crosses it. Coz it hurts, is medically unnecessary, carries risk & the man might not want it. Religious freedom or aesthetic preferences don't justify modifying someone else's genitals.

To this, I get responses that parents make other decisions for kids which are OK. Granted. Now justify this one. What gives you the right to modify someone else's genitals (unless making the decision on the advice of a doctor)

An ethical doctor, you mean.
