My husband even did our son's cutting. It was a beautiful moment for me, seeing my husband bring our son into our Covenant with G-d. I am, however, all for the banning or limiting of non-religious circ. IF there were a religion that dictated child be tattooed, I'd support that as well. just like I think it's finr for the Greeks to dunk their squalling infants into a pool 3 times, or Muslim boys at 13 to be circ'd, or even, although I consider it to be scary and barbaric, for the Sunni to make a small cut on their child's head and let it bleed rather than covering it with a bandaid. That's what religious freedom means, that you allow he practice whether or not it appeals to you. If you're not of that persuasion, don't do the practice.the rabbi's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684413729031633038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-77584636213116052342011-06-08T20:50:55.171-07:002011-06-08T20:50:55.171-07:00I think everyone would do well to remember, you ar...I think everyone would do well to remember, you are not anything but a human, thus you were given the ability to think and act on your own accord.

In any event, babies absolutely do not get STD's, unless they contract it coming through your birth canal, or if they get them from sexual abuse. In neither of those instances will the presence or absence of a foreskin have any impact at all.<br /><br />Babies don't get STD's but grown men do, especially if they have multiple partners and don't use condoms. This is the case whether or not they are circed. In the United States, about 80% of sexually active males are circed, and we have the highest rates of STD's in the developed world. In Europe where circ is almost unheard of, the rates of STD's are much lower.<br /><br />I don't care that you had your son circed (though I have a problem with doctors pushing it with misinformation), but I sincerely hope for his sake that you don't communicate to him that he is somehow protected from STD's or the consequences of reckless sexual behavior due to being circed. If you do that, he is almost certain to get STD's, and then might end up being really angry with you that you had him altered for no good reason and then gave him false information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-27977404037053769552011-03-05T16:05:01.321-08:002011-03-05T16:05:01.321-08:00-UTIs are treatable with antibiotics.

Much more serious a urinary complication is meatal stenosis, which is seen in somewhere between 9-11% of circumcised boys, and ONLY in circumcised boys. This high risk of painful narrowing of the urinary opening should be enough to stop circumcision tomorrow. There's well laid out information here - which again, is not my only resource, but is easier to read for the lay-person: http://www.circumstitions.com/Utis.html<br /><br />-Penile cancer is extraordinarily rare. It is rarer than male breast cancer. It is also a disease of old men, i.e., after the age of consent. We have, in the latter part of last century, moved away from amputative medicine even when it involves troublesome body parts, let alone healthy ones. The tonsils and appendix are now recognised to be useful parts of the immune and digestive systems, and are left in place unless their removal is absolutely necessary. We don't remove male breast buds, arguably useless, even though the risk for male breast cancer is much higher than that of penile cancer. Circumcised men have been known to develop penile cancer on the circumcision scar, so while you could argue that having less penis is somewhat protective, only a full penectomy would eliminate the risk, and why? Comparatively, from a medical ethics perspective, circumcision to prevent penile cancer makes no sense. http://www.circumstitions.com/Cancer.html<br /><br />Seriously, where is the pressing need to amputate this useful body part? I have had partners both circumcised and not, and I can tell you that it's useful. Most men where I live are living fulfilled and happy lives with the penises they were born with, and are filled with horror to hear that in the USA they're commonly taken to with clamps and scissors. No one makes right decisions all the time as a parent, and as the mother of a dead son, I understand the guilt, the denial, the soul searching, I really do. But many mothers have worked through this, questioned their decision, made different decisions for future sons and apologised to the sons they had cut. Marilyn Milos, director of NOCIRC, had all three of her sons circumcised, but her experiences as a nurse changed her point of view.

The US is full of grown circumcised men and the US also has one of the highest STD rates in the world, especially for chlamydia. In other places where the vast majority of men are intact (Norway, Denmark, France, Brazil), they have MUCH lower std rates. Despite what doctors say(who happen to get paid to perform circumcisions - can anyone say "conflict of interest"?), circumcision doesn't fully protect against penile cancer. Sure, you can't get a tumor on a foreskin if it's not there, but circed men do in fact get cancer on the circumcision scar line. As someone already said, men have a higher rate of breast cancer than penile cancer, and the American Cancer Society doesn't endorse circ for cancer prevention. <br />It's just wrong, even if you try to justify it w/religion, for anyone to amputate HEALTHY, FUNCTIONAL body parts in absence of disease. It's insane that anyone thinks this is a good idea. <br />Pinch tightly the skin over your knuckles and then try to bend your finger. Feel how tight and uncomfortable that is? That's what a circumcision does to your son's penis. It makes something that was designed to work like a piston into something that can only work like a stick. <br /><br />I have friends and family members who have circed their sons. They love them. They made what they thought was the right choice. But it wasn't. It's not ever the right choice unless a grown man makes it for himself. Just ask my cousin who almost lost her son 14 years ago to a hemorrhage after a circ. Why would anyone risk their child's life over a cosmetic procedure? Why is this even legal???<br /><br />Pardon me, I must leave. I'm taking my newborn daughter in for labial removal and a breast augmentation. I'm getting a jump start on cancer prevention of the vulva for her and all the boys now days just love big, perky boobs! I'm sure she'll appreciate all I'm doing for her one day!!! <br />Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-26055120231222714322011-03-05T06:38:27.581-08:002011-03-05T06:38:27.581-08:00Safer sex practices, like condoms prevent STDs.

The 14th Amendment provides equal protection of the law for all citizens, yet girls still benefit from the fact that it is illegal to circumcise them, yet perfectly legal to remove healthy genital tissue from their brothers.<br />Religious cutting of children IS WRONG. <br />If my religion required I cut someone I've only known for 8 days without their consent, I could be thrown in jail for it, regardless of the fact that my religion stipulated it.<br />Freedom of religion is not freedom to practice one's religion on the body of another.<br />Children are our responsibility to protect, care for, and nurture. They are not property. They can not be legally bought nor sold, they can not be traded in at the flea market, and they have fundamental human rights just as surely as anyone reading this blog post.<br /><br />Thank you for this brilliant analogy, as ultimately, infant circumcision is an elective cosmetic disfigurement performed on nonconsenting children.<br /><br />I actually have similar feelings about the piercing of baby girls' ears, though I console myself that at least if the girl doesn't want those holes later, she can let them grow shut (in theory) whereas men are not starfish, and their foreskin will not grow back.Sleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649221624958002039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-85458421895502110232011-03-05T03:51:39.700-08:002011-03-05T03:51:39.700-08:00-There is no real-world evidence, i.e., any studie...-There is no real-world evidence, i.e., any studies that have shown benefits to being circumcised in preventing STDs, HIV etc are based on flawed methodology such as lack of controls, lack of follow-up and confusing correlation with causation. Parts of Africa and the USA, who already have the highest rates of cultural circumcision, also have the highest rates of HIV & STDs. Participants in the African studies were also given condoms and sex education. One study, abandoned early, was showing a similar increase in HIV transmission to the partners of circumcised men. There's much more about it here: http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/full/10.2217/17469600.2.3.193 However, from a medical ethics procedure, even if it WAS protective, it does not warrant circumcision.

Historically it was legal in the USA and funded until the 1970s. It is now illegal in the US. If you accept that one is unethical, you must accept that the other is too - human rights legislation doesn't allow for discrimination on the basis of gender. This is written by Hanny Lightfoot-Klein, who has been campaigning against FGM for 30 years: http://www.boystoo.com/fgm&mgm.htm This is a casual discussion about female circumcision amongst mothers: http://www.mummysg.com/forums/f40/have-you-sunat-your-girls-29826 and this is a short history of FGM in the USA: http://www.drmomma.org/2009/09/history-of-female-circumcision-in.html<br /><br />-Circumcision has common and horrifying complications. They're outlined rather well on this page: http://www.circumstitions.com/Complic.html You can argue that the benefits are worth the risks, but in order for it to be ethical, you have to establish that the benefits are real, that the procedure must be performed immediately in order to reap them, and that these benefits outweigh the risks. That simply doesn't hold up, which is why most of the world - around 80% - is intact: http://www.circumstitions.com/Maps.htmlAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000776191877224923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-20857154187576043402011-03-05T03:49:46.512-08:002011-03-05T03:49:46.512-08:00I'm curious as to what people DO class as reli...I'm curious as to what people DO class as reliable research, given that Google has been rubbished (which is only a search engine, it's the content you read that's important).<br /><br />Most people who say they researched and decided to circ quote Brian Morris' 'circinfo' site as what made up their minds. They don't realise that Morris is a circumcision fetishist who is viewed by the medical profession in his home country as a zealot and a quack. He's so desperately in need of someone to support his viewpoints that he teams up with another fetishist, UK computer programmer Jake Waskett, to write letters to support circumcision and in protest of studies that come out against it. If you don't believe me, Google it, it's freely available. Jake has a death-grip over every foreskin related article on Wikipedia. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.<br /><br />The only other research that has ever supported circumcision - though it's all been superseded or contradicted by other research - has been conducted by Jewish, American, or Jewish American doctors with a culturally vested interest in seeing circ continue. Peer review means nothing when your peers share your bias. It is telling that research in other parts of the world has found routine circumcision to be worthless, and as such it isn't practiced.<br /><br />I respect that some of you feel as though you've researched the issue, but what made your minds up? I'm interested to know. I don't hold any one source up as being the ultimate well of knowledge, that would be dangerous and unwise - but I do know what makes sense, from medical and ethical standpoints, from risk vs. benefit analyses, and comparative practices.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000776191877224923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-45275917565273035202011-03-05T01:36:47.416-08:002011-03-05T01:36:47.416-08:00I didnt belive in circumcision, i was to scared it...I didnt belive in circumcision, i was to scared it was going to hurt my lil boy but the doc told me it will be healthy for him that it would prevent any STD or infections so i went on and did. My family didnt like it on the other hand on my husbands side they all wanted me to give our son the circumcision, but at the end i made my choice cuz i dont want my baby boy to get any type of STD so i think its fine to circumcise them. But again every one has its own opinion and there should be no judging. Please no harsh comments!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-71453302597755563172011-03-04T21:44:50.368-08:002011-03-04T21:44:50.368-08:00Religious justification for circumcision doesn'...Religious justification for circumcision doesn't make it right or ethical. It is unethical to remove a healthy body part from someone incapable of consent. Period. End of story. <br /><br />It is illegal for parents to have their daughters circumcised - why do we protect our girls and not our boys? There are religious justifications for both and NEITHER are ok.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910339848371245054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073650201646308060.post-24965971586218955672011-03-04T21:38:55.578-08:002011-03-04T21:38:55.578-08:00@ Leona...
I'm so sorry about your brother an...@ Leona...<br /><br />I'm so sorry about your brother and I understand your worry and fears. Cancer is such a scary thing when it hits someone close to you. It's important to remember that ANY part of your body can become infected with cancer but you wouldn't remove any of them unless they did. Penile cancer is one of the rarest cancers in men. Your sons are more likely to develop male breast cancer if you didn't remove their breast tissue at birth. Your sons are FAR more likely to develop prostrate cancer if their prostrates were not removed at birth.<br /><br />Did you know that BOTH circumcised and intact men get penile cancer? Circumcision does not reduce the risk. In fact, some studies seem to show that circumcision INCREASES the risk. I haven't looked into that enough to say for sure but it is true that penile cancer is FAR more common in the USA than in Europe where they do not routinely circumcise. That should ell you something but it's important to understand the role that foreskin plays when it comes to penile cancer.<br />Foreskin is there to protect the rest of the penis from infections and diseases as long as it's washed regularly.<br /><br />When an intact man gets penile cancer, it's his foreskin that gets infected because it's protecting the rest of the penis. In most cases, amputation is not necessary but if it is, he will be circumcised.<br />When a circumcised man gets penile cancer, he lacks a foreskin so it's his glans that will become infected. In most cases, amputation is not necessary but if it is, he will be castrated.<br /><br />This website lists a few studies that seem interesting.

This is awesome t...And THANK you for this piece :)<br /><br />This is awesome to read. I don't get how anyone ever thinks it's okay to remove a piece of their child's genitals.<br />Not your body, not your choice.<br /><br />I don't know ANY teenaged boys who would EVER make fun of another boy's genitals to his face. If you stare at another guy's junk for that long in the locker room, you will have a LOT more problems coming YOUR way.<br /><br />The foreskin is not dirty. It is normal, like an eyelid.<br />It contains approx. 30 000 nerve endings. So to the person who was insisting that there is NO FEELING to it... I call BS :)<br /><br />Removing a foreskin doesn't decrease the amount of infections. Plus, girls get like 50 times more UTI's and such than boys. We don't lop off their labia in America, so... ??<br />The only reason a young boy would be getting infections is if you are RETRACTING his foreskin... basically ripping his penis apart. The ONLY person EVER retracting a boy's foreskin should be the boy himself, once he hits puberty, if ever.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947220243478669126noreply@blogger.com
