Male circumcision the American Academy of Pediatrics(*)said(*)in 2012 that the benefits of male circumcision outweigh the risks, citing its reducing the risks of HIV infection, urinary tract infection and penile cancer. read more: http://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/1.766692 My comments: OMG @ penile cancer Thank God I'm circumcised. What a relief. If you are debating in your mind whether to have your son circumcised or not; I think that would be the deal breaker.
Yeah right. That would mean Europe's penile cancer rates would be up at 100% or something. American infant circumcision is based on nothing but a pseudo-intellectual Freudian myth. Basically the motivation for doing it has gone from preventing masturbation, to being cleaner, to preventing STDs and finally to "muh, it looks better". Now they are back with this medical crap, it seems. Lmfao.
European nations generally don't circumcise infants unless there are special needs. The US generally circumcises its infants. European nations have fewer incidences of HIV than the USA. What is the common denominator here? Circumcision or access (and use) to condoms? HIV is rife in most African nations not because of circumcision, but because of the lack of access (and use) to condoms.
Circumcising a newborn is obviously immoral, no matter how you look at it. It also clearly violates the holy principle of self-ownership and on top of all this, it is also a highly unnecessary procedure that is based on a Kellogian delusion and perverted Puritanism.
