Unless you do the ethical thing and let "everyone" decide for himself when old enough to give informed consent - as we do with all other cosmetic surgery. #i2

It’s not just a cosmetic surgery, and the ethical thing to do is cut in infancy when risk is much lower and the skin has a chance to grow with the cut.

ETHICAL? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/denmarks-29000-doctors-declare-circumcision-of-healthy_b_58753ec1e4b08052400ee6b3 … PLEASE leave the US! This is NOT considered an ethical practice. Most of the world is uncut, shocked and disturbed that the US does. It is Genital Mutilation

Then the rest of the world should stay out of the US. American circ is a good tradition.

Especially not, because it was a response to a statement about norms in US vs elsewhere.

No, your words - "the rest of the world should stay out of the US" - is pure
#xenophobia. And ethical rules apply to children everywhere - in the US as well as elsewhere.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

Above poster said I should leave the US, when US is home to traditional circ, providing that because much of world disapproves US should too. US is great doesn’t need anyone’s opinion on how to be great. Would love US values everywhere but not a dictator.

US circ is s violation of basic human rights. Human rights are stronger than national norms. And actually the US is increasingly agreeing that circumcision is a violation of human rights. When your children grow they will be in a minority, with lifelong damage due to ignorance

No one can hold a candle to America on human rights - we are the freest people, a country of laws designed around a constitution to protect inalienable rights. It matters not to follow the crowd, it matters to do what is good. Circumcision is a good practice.
