Couldn't have said it better myself. The entire US medical profession has a serious #ethics problem. #i2 #HisBodyHisChoice @AmerAcadPeds #tweetiatrician #tweetiatricians #meded @AmerMedicalAssn @acog #PutKids1st #TimetoStartRevokingMedicalLicenseshttps://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …

What? I don't have time to research this right now but are you saying that medical associations are condoning this? What about the pediatricians? Dont tell me they have failed to take a stand against this!?@#?

Here's what
#AAP said about Type IV#FGM - the type of FGM involved in this case - in 2010: "[T]he ritual nick ... is not physically harmful." http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/125/5/1088.full.pdf … AAP "retired" that statement after massive public backlash, but w/#FGM ban now gone, who knows? It may come back1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

And it's not just Type IV
#FGM that some US doctors promote. Drs. Jacobs & Arora have already said that removing girls' clitoral hoods is just fine. They will now have $$ in their eyes. Make no mistake, child genital cutting is big business.#i2#meded https://jme.bmj.com/content/medethics/42/3/148.full.pdf …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I just followed you back; feel free to DM me. Like you, my time is limited, but I'd be happy to help you w/a paper or other projects. Here's a project idea: it seems to me like the time has come for a campaign to revoke medical licenses from Drs. Jacobs & Arora.

On the basis that they have argued that both Type IV
#FGM and the removal of girls' clitoral hoods (Type I FGM) may be performed for non therapeutic reasons on girls. Because there is no ethical justification for that, & physicians ought to have#ethics.#i20 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

#i2 The removal of girls' clitoral hoods has NEVER been "supported by"@AmerAcadPeds,@ACOG or@WHO. Type IV#FGM isn't "supported by" any of those organizations (although AAP did support it in 2010). Clearly, you either don't understand those organizations' policies...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
...or you don't understand what Jacobs & Arora wrote about #FGM (or both). In any event, what do you think a state licensing board is, if not the regulator of physicians? #i2 #HisBodyHisChoice #EndFGM #EndMGM #PutKids1st #ethics #bioethics #meded #StonyBrook #medtwitter

1/4 That question is confused & misleading, but so are Jacobs & Arora so I'm not surprised. It wasn't enough for Jacobs & Arora to reject the cardinal principles of
#bioethics that govern the practice of medicine in every respect. They also rejected the categorization of#FGM#i21 reply 0 retweets 0 likes - 13 more replies
