re: #14 Obdicut

At least you admit that circumcision is harmful.

Any medical reasons can be provided to the owner of the genitalia so that they can make an informed decision when they are an adult or worst case be done if it becomes medically necessary.

And the conflation of FGM and male circumcision while tenuous is still valid, outside of the US male circumcision is almost exclusively religious. Circumcision was imported into the US as a method to help prevent boys from masturbating, finding minute differences in rates of disease transmission and ignoring factors like simple hygiene and condom use just serve as justifications for continuation of the practice.

And so what if the practice is more painful for an adult, if they are really committed to their religion, a few days of codeine will probably help them out.

And what is the worst case scenario?
In 150 years Muslims and religious Jews may cease to believe that circumcision is important?
Doesn’t seem so bad to me.
