How about pleasing everyone by leaving babies intact and letting them decide for themselves as adults whether they want to be cut or not?

Adult circ is not the same as infant circ. Done in infancy, there is no feeling of loss or nerve, the skin can grow with the cut resulting in a better outcome, less risk and complications, less cost, etc

Actually baby’s do feel pain from the procedure.

I didn’t say they don’t feel pain. It’s quick and sharp. It’s not preferable, but it is survivable. Certainly not worse than birthing is for a woman!

Thank you! I’d add that it’s an unusual mentality that almost seems to think of infant genital mutilation pain as an exchange, parallel, or “payback” for birth pains.. one wonders about the psychology behind that..

It’s necessary imo. Looking at the risk knowing there’s no downside, the answer is clear it is a good procedure. It’s not payback - the human body can go through a fair amount of pain. It’s over quickly and heals easily and the baby moves on with a maturity most of you lack.

Nothing good about removing healthy functioning tissue based on cultural myths and anticipation of distant possible future harm. Absent immediate medical need, there is no ethical justification to removing healthy infant body parts.

"There's no downside."
Unless, of course, you think a 3 week old bleeding to death is a "downside" #i2https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/10/26/secrecy-questioned-about-babys-death-after-circumcision.html …
