As a Dr, she has a duty to medical facts and to respond with such when asked. Reaping profit from performing non-medical surgery on healthy, non-consenting individuals constitutes medical fraud. In children, abuse. She’s either a Dr. or a snake oil salesman. Which is it? #i2

Putting aside (for a moment) the ethical problems w/forcing unneeded amputative surgery on a child, it is beyond debate that doctors & hospitals make $ from circumcision. That is a major reason why it's the most commonly performed surgery in the US.http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-circumcision-cost-20160624-snap-story.html …

Sigh. Take your absolute and utter-claptrap that circumcision is done because of a profit motive the fuck outta my mentions. It doesn’t pass the guffaw test.

Moment over: can you explain how it's ethical to strap down a healthy boy and tear his penis apart w/out medical need, in a world which almost universally condemns any kind of FGM? Suggest you read this article before you give yet another absurd answer: http://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …

Not talking about medically necessary procedures. Not talking about "the Jewish community" either (although we could come back to that) I'm talking about the 1 million plus non-therapeutic, medicalized circumcisions in the US. Please answer my question & don't change the subject

Please establish that the “no medical need” has a “no cultural value” component.

FGM also has "cultural value". In 2010, the AAP said minor forms of FGM should be allowed. Are you saying you support FGM because it has cultural value?

Glad to hear you're opposed to clitorectomy, but that's not the kind of FGM that the AAP said should be allowed in 2010. What's your view on nicking or pricking a girl's genitals w/out medical need?
