| Topic | Why isn't male circumcision condemned as much as female circumcision is? |

So let's get this straight, I post an empirically backed statement by the most respected pediatric medical society in North America, the ones responsible for creating practice guidelines that are used across the United States and beyond, who formed a legitamate task force dedicated to reviewing a large body of evidence regarding research data on circumcisions and you think that an article from a news site and something from theguardian.com refutes that data and represents official recommendations of medical professionals from other countries? Meh. You're gonna have to do better than that. Besides, the UK article states that, "The Danish Health and Medicines Authority estimates that somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 circumcisions are performed in Denmark each year, primarily on Jewish and Muslim boys. The majority of those procedures occur outside of the public health system and are done as part of a religious ceremony in the child's home, or in a private clinic". Not the standard of care in America (though likely still happens). Personally AGAINST what I recommend as a pediatrician. If it's not a licensed physician who is signed off on performing or supervising circumcisions, I do not recommend having it done, but that's my personal practice. Take or leave the evidence bro, nothing personal. Peace --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
