Denmark Doctors Call to Ban Circumcision For Boys Under 18

Its done for cultural reasons, that was my point.
And comparing it too cancer? lol? Cancer will kill you if untreated.

And circumsion saves you from cancer and other diseases.

There is no hyperbole in anything I say, only facts and sensible analogies.

Donald? is that you? I am starting to think it is.

[JohnBrown1917]

I hate to break it to you, penises are ugly nothing you do to it can change that it's just weird and hangs there oddly unlike women where everything turns you on.

I don't know man, the Japanese can draw some pretty good dicks.

[Kalis]

Nope it's even worse reason than that, it's because of puritans back in the days they thought circumcision would stop people from masturbating.

How it came about is irrelevant, it is still a cultural practice.

It still can not be compared to cancer, and by that logic you can remove a lot of things from body to prevent it. Why not remove all your teeth?

Look. Im an atheist. And as much against Abrahamic religious bullshit as it is humanly possible to be.... BUTI would say that a definitive ruling on this would be a slippery slope on parental rights.

Superstitious ritual mutilation of children should never be a parental right.

I guess I'm too biased on this subject. I'm circumcised. I'm from the US. And basically everyone outside the US seems to think it's a barbaric act.

I really try hard not to let my personal biases effect opinions that should be scientific or medical in nature.

But I just don't get the emotional outrage toward circumcision. I do not consider it to be mutilation, and I've yet to see any evidence that the small risks outweigh the small benefits.

Would Trump use an avatar of himself? Maybe its Ben Garrison, that dude has a YUUGEE crush on Donald Duck.

Because you need your teeth. You don't need your foreskin.

Chop off all boobs to save women from breast cancer?

A small risk of death is not what I would call a small risk in general.

You can replace your teeth.

What about boobs? Or whatever else we can miss?

Hyperbole.

Breasts are required. For a variety of purposes.

Yes but it'd be quite the hassle. Incomparable.

It's a small child... You don't take risks with babies.
The so called small benefits are still up for a lot of debate. and again risk losing your baby for whatever ritual is really stupid.
Lets not even speak about the herpes some babies have gotten.

My foreskin is required, it is a part of my cock.

Required for what?

Please elaborate.

[Sorshen]

Please elaborate.

What are your nipples required for? Or ear lobes. Cut them off!

[Kalis]

Required for what?

Please elaborate.

That's very personal. It is something between me, my girlfriends and/or my hand.

I am not convinced that mutilating your child should be a parental right. Letting the person decide when they are old enough seems fine to me, it isn't banning the practice outright.

The self-righteous always finds a way to justify his actions.

Are there any recorded medical benefits?

Kellogg worked on the rehabilitation of masturbators, often employing extreme measures, even mutilation, on both sexes. He was an advocate of circumcising young boys to curb masturbation and applying phenol to a young woman's clitoris. In his Plain Facts for Old and Young,[8] he wrote:

A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed.
