Not to mention reports of circumcision botches from both Israel and the US...<br /><br />The risks attending circumcision include infection, hemorrhage, partial or full ablation of the penis or even death, whether it be performed by a trained professional, or a mohel "who does this for a living."<br /><br />Seriously, what planet are you from?Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-90405726140047928102012-06-15T22:57:19.533-07:002012-06-15T22:57:19.533-07:00It reeks of a deliberately uneven playing field:

Circumcision is obviously not medically necessary since the rest of the Western world doesn't practice it, but if American parents are going to insist on having their boys circumcised anyway, it's probably best to have it done by a mohel who has done it thousands of times and is less likely to make mistakes.Craig Buntinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467351647666211557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-19740770576653693742012-06-12T09:28:17.540-07:002012-06-12T09:28:17.540-07:00They should also have a man on the panel who's...They should also have a man on the panel who's unhappy he was circumcised as a baby, and an empty chair for all the boys who were killed as a result of circumcision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-80625546638717354522012-06-11T17:55:04.418-07:002012-06-11T17:55:04.418-07:00Cutting Edge Debate

The only person who looks at all like an Intactivist is "Dr. Juliet McKee ... a UTMB assistant professor in Family Medicine with specific interests in complementary and integrative medicine(1), women’s and children’s health and maternity care. While she continues to provide circumcision counseling (2), she no longer performs circumcisions. Her talk will address how she came to this decision, her concern for the vulnerability of infant patients and her desire to induct newborns into the world in ways that are intentional and respectful.(3)"<br /><br />1. Sounds like she's full of New Age woo-woo.<br />2. So how does she "counsel" an Adamant Father?<br />3. The circumcisers will argue that they cut babies intentionally and respectfully.<br /><br />Nobody there who looks likely to argue that cutting parts off babies of any sex (lacking pressing medical need) is a breach of their human rights.Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626096729466629067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-48541189468043958292012-06-11T14:55:55.823-07:002012-06-11T14:55:55.823-07:00Excellent points Joseph.
