Ice cold. With few exceptions, it's just US doctors who promote circumcision, and their main motivation is the usual one: circumcision is a billion $ industry in the US. Elsewhere, MDs are by varying degrees opposed to it. Danish Medical Ass'n calls it "ethically unacceptable"

Clearly you understand nothing about libertarianism if you think it is ever appropriate for one person to forcibly amputate another's genitalia w/out compelling medical need.

Never said I'm a libertarian, only that I understand libertarianism, which, again, you clearly don't. Amputating healthy tissue from a child's body is not a decision a parent has legal capacity, let alone responsibility, to make. Can you explain why male genitals are different?

So to recap: 1 Nothing is speculative about the way AAP has misled the public about circumcision 2 You simply "don't care" that most doctors disagree that circumcising an infant is helpful or ethical 3 You can't explain why you think MGM but not FGM is ethical...

1 Amputating healthy, functional, innervated, erogenous & protective tissue from a child's body is inherently harmful. Beyond that, complications can include loss of entire penis, loss of glans, severe pain that can cause a boy to pass out, hypospadias, meatal stenosis & deathpic.twitter.com/GbSmv9GNmN

Replying to @cooney21 @MassBayIntact and
2 The AAP & other US doctors are virtually alone among the world's physicians in promoting non therapeutic infant foreskin amputation. Most view it as unhelpful, if not unethical.

3 A criminal case in MI involves a type of FGM on a girl - a "ritual nick" of her clitoral hood - that is not as invasive or extensive as male circumcision. Do you agree that those who claim this ritual nick is their religious obligation have the right to inflict it on a child?
