I like the part (I don't) where they talk about how removing health body parts is against medical ethics, which, ha ha ha, no, it is not, not at all. Healthy body parts are removed all the time to protect the rest of the body. Sometimes, not even for protection.

Cosmetic surgery is an obvious choice for the latter. Dentistry comes to mind. Prophylactic mastectomies (or other -ectomies, though less common). Amputations in diabetic patients sometimes happen preventatively. Abortions spring to mind, though they surely wouldn't miss those.

Tubal ligation and vasectomies alter the body significantly, sometimes irreversibly. Breast reductions fit the bill. Skin grafts are sorta in there too. Circumcision endures, despite there being no medical need for it; it is perhaps the oldest refutation on the list.

there is no medical need for circumcision. most of the world is not circumcised and perfectly fine. healthier in fact bcause their genitals are mutilated.
