I have strong views on conducting a surgical procedure that is not medically indicated.

I pose the question, why would there be a foreskin if it was not meant to be there?

My ex wanted my son to be circumsized and I refused to allow it.
The only time that I ever would not give ground LOL. We discussed it at length and she finally acceded to let the status quo remain.

I have seen a circumcision done on a baby. They are too young to be given a full anaesthetic and only a topical one can be administered. The baby was distressed I can assure you and the penis would be sore till it healed.

The baby has no choice in the matter and once gone thats it. I would have preferred to have a foreskin but it was taken without my giving permission.

The reference to female circumcision in some African societies is actually not circumcision, ei, removing the hood around the clitoris, but removal of the clitoris itself. I have read articles on it and consider it to be a barbaric practise.

I refer you to this site to read about it
