| Topic | I still don't get circumcision. |
| adjl 05/09/21 3:11:14 PM #88: | LinkPizza posted... I said its almost like making the choice for them. Except it's not. It's the complete opposite of making the choice for them, which is - by the definition of the phrase "complete opposite" - nothing like making the choice for them. The ultimate outcome is completely irrelevant to the question of whether or not the choice has been made for them, so any biases in that outcome should not be considered in deciding whether or not the choice should be made for them. Basically, your logic is that, because most people that are circumcised are okay with it, that's effectively the same thing as letting them choose to have it done (at least, that's the converse of your position, which must also be true if yours is). It's not. If somebody walks into a restaurant and you bring them a bowl of pasta before they've gotten to look at a menu, they have not ordered pasta. If you bring them a menu, and they don't order pasta, that does not mean that bringing them a menu has decided that they shouldn't get pasta, it means *they* have decided that. --- This is my signature.
