The American Academy of Pediatrics should revise its inhumane guidelines on circumcision. If there is no religious or medical reason for a male infant to be circumcised, this elective procedure should be outlawed for its lack of informed consent and unnecessary surgical risk.

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that confers actual surgical risk to the male infant. Condoms are far more effective than circumcision in preventing HIV and other STDs so why is there a need for such an invasive and permanent surgery. Condoms prevent unwanted pregnancy too.

It hurts the child more. Inflicting pain on a child to spare that pain to an adult is blatantly unethical. It is also almost never needed or wanted as evidenced by the extremely low lifetime circumcision rates in many parts of the world that don't forcibly cut infants.

“Full function” is not an issue
Circumcision when done properly is not disfiguring and mildly beneficial. Foreskins were evolutions way of protecting penises when people wore less clothes, therefore less needed in modern times.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
