No it’s about 10x the cost in every facet: financial, healing time, etc. the body doesn’t have a chance to heal using stem cells so the result is more scar tissue. The patient is already exposed to sex so can sense the loss of the nerves and may have STIs otherwise would not

When do you think a parent no longer has the right to amputate healthy tissue from a child's body? The fact is parents do NOT EVER have that right. Individuals have the right to decide on non therapeutic amputations of THEIR OWN healthy body parts. No one else, not even parents.

So you'd allow a mother to forcibly circumcise her 17 year old son, over his own clearly & articulately expressed objections & steadfast refusal to consent? #i2

In California, that’s actually legal. But it’s a crime to pierce his foreskin even with his consent.
