Circumcision Just Keeps Getting Better!!!

[Docfeelgood]

Except that in the case of circumcision it's nearly always someone else who makes the choice on behalf of the recipient. Makes it somewhat different, doesn't it?

Would you make a choice for your child if they wanted to drink or smoke?
If they wanted a sex change?

[Ben Kenobi]

Circumcision leaves people to live the the decisions of another. Abortion, if it's successful, doesn't.

So a botched circumcision which kills someone is ok, while a correctly done circumcision is not?

It should be the opposite.

1. Prolifers should have some believe in circumcision, and some that do not.

2. Prochoicers should all favour circumcision. If you believe that killing a baby is ok, then why would you have qualms about their foreskins?

What if you wanted to change their sex? How are the two any different from one another?

Oh, that just way to much for me

I don't think it is ethical or legal to change the sex of a child.
Besides their sex organs have not matured yet.

So let me get this straight we should hack off foreskins to prevent diseases that you can avoid simply through behaviour?

I can see infection arguments but STDs? Makes about as much sense as clitorectomies to prevent STDs.

Actually in that case the woman probably would have less sex, thus statistically reducing the chance of STD's

You scare me that you do

My point is that it is all elective surgery by choice.

By this argument, female genital mutilation, even when performed in a sterile environment by a doctor, isn't anything we should worry about, because the parents consent to it on behalf of the child.

Nothing could be a more ****ed up concept.

Circumcision leaves people to live the the decisions of another. Abortion, if it's successful, doesn't.

I'd much rather be alive and living with the results of cosmetic surgery than dead.

[ricketyclik]

So circumcision is preferable to being aborted, so therefore people should be circumcised?

If you're aborted, you don't care.

No. Circumcision is less morally suspect than abortion, so you're an idiot if you oppose circumcision on moral grounds but not abortion.

If you're aborted, you don't care.

This is the morally defunct logic of a commie.

[chequita guevara]

No, abortion isn't morally suspect at all, because it doesn't affect a sentient being accept the one making the choice. Circumcision affects sentient beings who aren't making the choice.

[MOBIUS]

Anyone who has been circumcised is a loser!

Having a bad day?
Would you like to talk about it?
Post traumatic stress of being in the showers with other boys after play time?
Don't worry my friend we are all the same to GOD.
Now, would you like to say something positive to make up for your past deed?

Only if you live in a non-civilized western culture.
