I'm not sure of anything. I can only read on the information available (& I'm not talking about what was passed down to me.. there are arguments for and against. What I can say is that, it's not evil.

It would be nice if you could list some of the benefits, or reasons why it is not evil. You said you aren’t sure of anything, but you seem to be sure that it is not evil.

Take a second to think about statements like “reduced risks or increased risks”. They often start with statements like “studies show” or “medical experts agree than”. They are often unreliable stats.

Also, those diseases or conditions you mentioned, except Phimosis which is particular to uncircumcised males, are far more common in geographical regions where circumcision is prevalent. Reduced risks, really?

How common is phimosis, which can be treated? How common is death from circumcision, which is irreversible?

The death is very uncommon, I’ve never seen nor heard anyone die as a result of circumcision. Even back in the days when our forefathers had no white man medicine, they still had high survival rate from circumcising their offsprings. Benefits >>>> its risks. Cc

Ask those parents that lost their children, they would choose the treatable phimosis over the death of their child.

Of course, no parent would choose death over life for their children. I “pray” and hope your friend’s child, in question, recuperates and survives the pains/injuries from the procedure.
Like I said earlier, doctors don’t impose it on anyone, the parents have the final say.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
So, the risk of death outweighs the avoidance of what is unlikely to happen, but curable even when it does. That was why I asked, how common is phimosis?

It is an elective procedure. Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks, and the benefits of newborn male circumcision justify access to this procedure for those families who choose it. It’s a choice.
