When the mother of an angry and circumcised man was confronted by her son, she saidthe following: "well, it's cleaner" and "it's just a piece of skin"
There is something seriously wrong with our culture if it's o.k. to get rid of someones' "just skin" just because they are babies.
Also, I have noticed something else- one argument given pro-circumcision by many women , and a few men, is the "cleaner" argument. I find this bizarre.It would be cleaner to only eat pre-packaged spacefood, but no-one does this except for astronauts.We add hydrogenated and unhealthy oils to peanut butter, so we don't have to stir it. We subject milk to outrageous heat and homoginization, so we don't have to stir it.
We developed powerful household cleaners- and increased the rate of autoimmune disorders.
It is much too cruel, however, to chop off skin, so that it does not have to be run under tap water once in a while.
Also, much of what is secreted by the foreskin are white blood cells, that exist-too clean it. I find this contadictory.
It took me a while to understand your title, but now I totally get it. I agree with you %100. "Engineered babies: better, stronger, more durable, get one today at your nearest hospital." vaccination of tiny babies is another example of people messing perfection.
End male genital mutilation now.
Make it illegal just as serving hydrogenated oil-fried french fries is illegal in California and other states.
Circumcision is an atrocity, a human rights violation, child abuse.
In America if someone cut off part of their son's or daughter's genitalia, they would be hauled away to jail or the looney bin. Yet doctors and rabbis do it everyday routinely, they should be arrested.
Wake up people. Moms: don't let anyone with a knife near your perfect baby.
