August 30, 2012 | 03:37 PM It's really easy to find circumcised doctors who are against circumcision, but surprisingly difficult to find male doctors in favor who weren't circumcised themselves as children. The AAP are way out of line with other national medical organizations, and it's very disappointing that they say this: "Parents are entitled to factually correct, nonbiased information about circumcision" but they provide information that is both biased and highly selective. They simply don't seem to consider that the foreskin might actually be valuable. How strange that all the health benefits the AAP claim don't seem to exist in Europe, where almost no-one circumcises unless they're Jewish or Muslim. I suppose it's a good thing they didn't look at operating on girls to prevent breast cancer. 11% of women get breast cancer, and 3% die of it, so the health benefits to the girls would massively outweigh the risks. Meanwhile, other national health organizations including the Canadian Paediatric Society and the Dutch Medical Association continue to recommend *against* circumcising newborns. It's illegal to cut off a girl's prepuce, or to make any incision on a girl's genitals, even if no tissue is removed. Even a pinprick is banned. Why don't boys get the same protection? Everyone should be able to decide for themselves whether or not they want parts of their genitals cut off. It's *their* body. Women produce more smegma than men btw, but we don't cut parts off baby girls to help them keep clean. Intactivism is nothing to do with anti-Semitism. It's about human rights. A disproportionate number of intactivists are Jewish btw. "the foreskin is not linked to sexual pleasure" Well that's odd, since it's the most sensitive and pleasurable part of my equipment down there. But of course, you wouldn't know or want to know that the foreskin is erogenous. "male circumcision has no similarities to female circumcision" The people that cut girls keep comparing them. So did the doctors that cut girls in the USA right up until the 1970's. Mark Lyndon |
