German court bans circumcision

[CaptainMattJ.]

Circumcision of females IS mutilation. Cutting off a clitoris is incredibly painful and unethical. it permanently disables that aspect of the female and causes noticeable disfiguration and disables the role of the clitoris. This is the most widely practiced Female circumcision, and its usually not in sanitary conditions or performed by trained medical personnel.

Male Circumcision has been thoroughly and repeatedly studied for signs of decreased performance or any medical problems with cutting off the foreskin, and its been proven that no such problems exist. Average length, sensitivity, size, and functions are relatively the same between non-circumsized and circumsized men. The only possible problems arise when it is done incorrectly, which isnt a problem with trained medical personnel. Circumcision also has been used as medical relief from problems such as phimosis.

i agree with MH, you use harsh language like "mutilation" to prove a false point about how circumcisions disfigure a Man and cause health problems when, if done correctly, it does not. I also take offense at you comparing Male and Female circumcision so freely.

Now, whether or not cutting off the foreskin of a possibly non-consenting infant is ethical is the only real topic that can be debated, as whether or not it mutilates Men has been proven many times to be inaccurate. AFAIK Adult male circumcision is more harmful (yet still hardly mutilation) because the Penis is fully grown. Men have reported that their Penis had decreased sensitivity and swelling after Adult circumcisions, but more research is needed.

Im leaning towards the ban of child circumcision for religious and or cosmetic reasons because the infant/toddler doesnt know what the procedure is for, and cant make an educated decision on whether or not he would really want it.
