| Topic | Why do they call it circumcision instead of male genitalia mutilation? |

If you can't substantiate your opinion, you need to start seriously questioning whether or not you should have it. LinkPizza posted... Having the option to change doesnt always mean having the means. For example, it probably cost a good deal. And it takes you out of work for a week. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Missing a week or two of work could be pretty devastating to some. That is indeed a problem with the third world nightmare that is the American health care system. Taking the choice away from adults should not be considered an acceptable band-aid solution for that, though. LinkPizza posted... But be closer to 50-50 still would help with bullying. Which is why my vote goes there. The notion of performing cosmetic surgery on babies in the interest of avoiding bullying is a very, very dangerous road to start going down. Slippery slope arguments are too fallacious to rely entirely on, but if you're going to start suggesting that circumcising babies is okay because making everyone look the same will reduce bullying, you need to be prepared to explain how that exact logic can't be used to justify other cosmetic procedures on babies (or on older children, for that matter). --- This is my signature.
