September 2020 in a Nutshell

 

I'm going to be honest with you and say that I've been very busy. There is a whole lot that I'd like to touch on and devote due time to, but life keeps getting in the way. Every time I think "Oh! This is something I think I should blog about," life pulls me in a different direction. My job! My children. The wife... Basic human rights for boys and men is an important issue that's always at the back of my mind, but the truth is I need to take care of my responsibilities as an employee, a dad and a husband. Someday I will be able to dedicate to the issues I care about the time they deserve.

This month, I'm joust going to post the pictures I saw on Facebook and let them speak for themselves.






I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it; the risk of male infant circumcision include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage and even death. Circumcision may make breastfeeding difficult. The example seen here are only what some parents dared to make public on Facebook. Circumcision botches are so common that some doctors specialize in "correcting" circumcisions.

Because male infant circumcision is an elective, cosmetic procedure, any risk above zero is unconscionable.

Are parents being made aware of these risks?

I'm going to close with this image:


It's bears noting that this last mishap happened in Israel. Jewish advocates of male infant circumcision love to say that when a mohel performs a circumcision, there is never any risk, because a mohel does this for a living, he and the procedure are mandated and protected by "god," et cetera, et cetera.

Male infant circumcision has needless risks, regardless of who performs it and why, period.

I have taken the liberty of posting a link to the article described in the picture above, here.

FACEBOOK: Another Hemorrhaging Baby Post-Circumcision


So what's it going to take?

I seriously hate writing these kinds of blog posts where I have to announce, yet again, another circumcision mishap that didn't make the news. Charlatan doctors that continue to reap profit from male infant genital mutilation will continue to say circumcision is "harmless" because "research" will continue saying it is, because doctors and hospitals aren't required to report such mishaps, so they won't make the statistics used to write these "studies."

What is it going to take for people to see male infant circumcision for the needless genital mutilation that it is and demand this practice stop?

Scrolling down my Facebook news feed, I see this:







This was posted on August 13th, so I'm seeing this late. That was over 10 days ago. There hasn't been an update since.

Did this child die?

We won't know.

Parents were probably advised not to post the rest of this story on Facebook.

How many times do I have to say it?

The risks of male infant circumcision include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage or even death.

Without medical or clinical indication, doctors have no business performing surgery on a healthy newborn, let alone be offering parents any kind of "choice."

Under any other circumstance, reaping profit from non-medical surgery on healthy, non-consenting individuals constitutes medical fraud.

Given that male infant circumcision is elective cosmetic surgery, any risk above 0 is unconscionable.

What is it going to take until this practice is banned and doctors that continue to do this be tried as the mutilators they are?

Unless there is a compelling medical reason, male infant circumcision is genital mutilation.

Those who continue to do this are charlatans, and those doctors whose infant patients died as a direct result of this needless mutilation are guilty of manslaughter.

What is it going to take?

How many more ruined lives and murder victims?

This needs to end NOW.

FACEBOOK: Another Baby Fighting For His Life Post Circumcision


This was in my Facebook news feed today:

TRAGEDY IN AMERICA, A BABY BORN May 23rd, 2017, FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE: "A beautiful boy, with a head full of gorgeous hair: Two weeks after his birth, during circumcision, strep passed the blood barrier and he became septic. He now has sepsis, pneumonia, and bacterial meningitis, with seizures. Neurology has put him on antiseizure meds. A feeding tube into his belly and breathing assistance from a ventilator." ~Mom's statements, current as of today, Tuesday, June 13, 2017
These keep happening. (See the list of other posts to similar stories down below.)

What else can I say?

The risks of circumcision include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage and even death.

The risks are real, American medical organizations keep this information from parents.

Doctors and hospitals are not legally obligated to report adverse circumcision outcome, and guilty parents are complicit in keeping the death of their child who died from needless surgery under wraps.

American medical organizations often minimize the risks and complications of male infant circumcision, but who is actually counting?

Can we actually trust the numbers they give us, given that a great majority of their members profit from male infant circumcision, and their duty is to the well-being of their MEMBERS?

Given that doctors and hospitals are not required to report this information?

And even if the risks were as low as they say, how is anything above ZERO conscionable for elective, non-medical cosmetic surgery on a healthy, non-consenting child?

The risks are real, and here is the proof.

We don't hear about this because they hardly make the news, and they barely surface on social media like Facebook.

For the same reasons; people want to hide these.

Slide them under the carpet.

WHEN IS THIS GOING TO STOP???

ARE YOU LISTENING AAP?

ARE YOU LISTENING DOUGLAS DIEKEMA?


This child's blood is on YOUR HANDS.

When reports like these surface on Facebook etc. make them go VIRAL.

ENOUGH OF THIS.

MADERA, CA: Another Circumcision Complication


Saw this on my Facebook news feed.

This time the circumcision botch happened at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera, CA.

I keep making these posts. (See links below.)

What else can I say?

Male infant circumcision is cosmetic, elective, non-medical surgery.

The risks of male infant circumcision include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage, and even death.

It is unconscionable that healthy, non-consenting baby boys are being put at risk for complications for an elective, non-medical, radically altering genital surgery.

How many of these have to happen?

Valley Children's Hospital's website is down, but their Facebook page can be accessed here.

I close with my blog's Mission Statement:

Mission Statement
The foreskin is not a birth defect. Neither is it a congenital deformity or genetic anomaly akin to a 6th finger or a cleft. Neither is it a medical condition like a ruptured appendix or diseased gall bladder. Neither is it a dead part of the body, like the umbilical cord, hair, or fingernails.

The foreskin is not "extra skin." The foreskin is normal, natural, healthy, functioning tissue, present in all males at birth; it is as intrinsic to male genitalia as labia are to female genitalia.

Unless there is a medical or clinical indication, the circumcision of a healthy, non-consenting individuals is a deliberate wound; it is the destruction of normal, healthy tissue, the permanent disfigurement of normal, healthy organs, and by very definition, infant genital mutilation, and a violation of the most basic of human rights.

Without medical or clinical indication, doctors have absolutely no business performing surgery in healthy, non-consenting individuals, much less be eliciting any kind of "decision" from parents, and much less expect to be reimbursed.

Genital integrity, autonomy and self-determination are inalienable human rights. I am against the forced circumcision of healthy, non-consenting minors because it violates these rights.

Genital mutilation, whether it be wrapped in culture, religion or “research” is still genital mutilation.

It is mistaken, the belief that the right amount of “science” can be used to legitimize the deliberate violation of basic human rights.

CIRCUMCISION BOTCH: Another Post-Circumcision Hemorrhage Case Surfaces on Facebook


The American Academy of Pediatrics minimizes the risks and complications of male infant circumcision.

What are the risks?

And are parents being properly informed about them?

The risks of male infant circumcision include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage, and even death.

As minimal as those risks may be, they are real, and parents ought to be informed about them.

The following case managed to appear on Facebook recently:


Are these risks worth it for non-medical, elective surgery on healthy, non-consenting minors?

Without medical or clinical indication, how is it possible doctors are even performing surgery on healthy, non-consenting minors, let alone giving parents any kind of "choice?"

This is just one case, and I constantly read about them on my Facebook news feed.

As it stands, doctors and hospitals are not required to report adverse effects of circumcision, and they have financial incentive to keep this information under wraps.

No one is counting, so the true risks of circumcision are unknown.

Because male infant circumcision is elective, non-medical surgery, how is anything above zero conscionable?

LAW SUIT: Child Loses "Significant Portion" of Penis During Circumcision


According to a recent news report, parents in Carbon County PA have filed a lawsuit seeking damages for negligence, after a doctor cuts off a 0.3-inch portion of their child's penis, permanently scarring and disfiguring him. (Circumcision already permanently scars and disfigures, but this one would be particularly scar and disfigure beyond what is acceptable.)

The lawsuit names Dr. Stephen R. Glicken, who carried out the procedure on July 20th of last year, three days after the child's birth. Additionally it names Lehigh Valley Hospital Hazleton, Lehigh Valley Physician Group Hazleton and the Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network as defendants.

The lawsuit alleges that the medical staff failed to transfer the partially amputated part of their son's penis on ice, causing it to be in a condition that would make its reattachment to be "unlikely to succeed and could result in additional complications."

The parents have been told that their child's penis will never have a normal appearance, and will never achieve the size it would have achieved otherwise.

Thoughts
Without medical or clinical indication, how is it that doctors can be performing surgery on healthy, non-consenting minors?

Let alone give parents any kind of "choice?"

Male infant circumcision carries risks.

The risks include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage and even death.

Were this child's parents fully informed of these risks?

How is it conscionable that a child be put at these risks for elective, non-medical surgery?

The AAP and other American medical organizations whose members stand to gain from the procedure like to downplay the risks of male infant circumcision.

As much as they want to deny the risks even exist, the risks are real, and it's sad that people only get to hear about them when stories like these make the news.

It must be remembered that not all the botches and deaths make the news.

Doctors and hospitals have financial incentive to keep these stories under wraps, and they're not required to report their number of deaths and complications.

Is the AAP etc. actually counting?

CIRCUMCISION BOTCHES: Colombia and Malaysia

Colombian boy left in a vegetative state after a circumcision

It seems that recently, reports of circumcision botches are coming to light all over the world.

Just a few days ago, on January 17th, there was a report on a Colombian news show, 90 Minutos, about a child who was left in a vegetative state when he was circumcised 3 years ago.

The mother is trying to press charges on the doctor who has been since, nowhere to be found.

Not much detail is given about the boy's necessity to be circumcised, only that this was supposed to be an outpatient procedure, and that apparently, the doctor used too much anesthetic.

The YouTube video can be seen here:




It is not clear whether there was an actual medical indication, but given the recent history of circumcision, where doctors give phony excuses to circumcise healthy children, it may be possible that there was in fact none.

Another botch also made news reports earlier, this time in Malaysia.

According to Nation, 3 cases of botched circumcisions have come to light, and the Health Ministry is urging the child's parents to take the cases to court.

In South-East Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, etc., both boys and girls are circumcised as a matter of religious course, as genital cutting is seen as religious sacrament there due Islam.

Unlike in America, boys in Muslim countries tend to be circumcised at later ages instead of as newborns.

According to one Dr. Subramaniam, "Hundreds of thousands of circumcisions were carried out every year in the country and that minor complications were bound to happen, but there were never any serious cases like these, even when traditional methods were widely used."

One of the victims, a 10-year-old boy, has to use a catheter and a urine bag after suffering severe damage to his penis. A portion of the boy’s private parts was severed by an assistant medical officer at a mass circumcision ceremony at a surau in Sungai Buloh on Nov 25.

The bleeding could not be stopped and the victim was rushed to Hospital Selayang.

The doctors were unable to reattach the head of the boy’s penis, which had already turned black.

The boy was then sent to a private hospital and underwent three surgeries, which were also unsuccessful.

In a different case, a nine-year-old boy had the glans of his penis severed during a circumcision at a private clinic in Jalan Ipoh on Dec 15.

And five days later, a 10-year-old boy lost the head of his penis as he was undergoing laser circumcision at a Taman Cheras Utama clinic.

The YouTube video for this report can be seen here:




It must be noted that both male and female circumcision are an ingrained part of the culture in South-East Asia.

These are cultures who, like America, should be used to this custom, and whose doctors, having done thousands of circumcisions, should be assumed to be well-trained.

In cases like these, circumcision advocates like to chant the old adage "Well if the circumcisions were performed by trained professionals, this wouldn't happen."

I don't think there could be any better trained professionals to do this than those who do it thousands of time for a living.

And they STILL happen.

It happens to trained doctors in America (The AAP gives a complication rate of 2%. What's 2% of 1.3 million babies a year?), it happens to Jewish mohels, it happens in the hospital, it happens when using the best equipment.

And the question must be repeated; how is this conscionable considering that circumcision is non-medical surgery, performed on healthy, non-consenting minors?

These are healthy children with no medical need for surgery we're talking about.

How is the complication rate anything above ZERO???

Instead of questioning the method, the persons who did it, where it was done, what setting, age, sex, WHATEVER, why aren't we questioning the need to circumcise ITSELF???

These children are going to suffer for the rest of their lives.

All for needless genital cutting.

Circumcision has risks.

The risks include infection, partial or full ablation, hemorrhage and even death.

Are these worth it for non-medical surgery?

For "benefits" already easily attainable through non-surgical means?
