Re: Damage Caused by Infant Circumcison.
And the link I posted gives the actual facts. If the facts prove your opinion is false, then it is false. Unlike adults, infants cannot be anesthetized properly. In many cases infant circumcision is performed without any anesthesia at all. That is never true for adults. Adults are also given painkillers afterwards. Infants are not. Adults don't have to spend the healing period wearing a diaper and having the open wound exposed to urine and feces. Infants do. An adult can understand why he is in pain and can use coping techniques. An infant cannot. The facts are clear-being circumcised as an infant is worse than being circumcised as an adult. And the "they don't remember" argument fails as well. Lack of conscious memory is not the same as lack of trauma. Rape victims who have been drugged often don't remember being raped. We still arrest and prosecute the attacker. |

Re: Damage Caused by Infant Circumcison.
I second your "ugh". I don't understand how these penises look "better" than an undamaged intact one. Just to clarify, it doesn't matter how "careful" the doctor or moyel is. Skin bridges are the result of the healing process. The head of the penis and the foreskin are adhered to each other at birth. Circumcision tears these surfaces apart. The skin bridges are the result of them trying to heal back together. The best answer is to stop circumcising babies and children-leave it to adulthood and let the man choose for himself. You almost never see skin bridges and these other complications in an adult circumcision, where the head of the penis and the foreskin are already separate. |

Re: Damage Caused by Infant Circumcison.
"Correctly" is leaving it alone. I didn't "snip" my son or daughter. It's not a snip, either. The foreskin is adhered to the glans by the same tissue that hold the nail to the skin below it. It separates slowly over time when the foreskin can then be retracted. It is not gross, disgusting or prone to infection. As the male urinates, it helps to eventually loosen the adhesions, and it is also self cleaning in that manner. The urine swirls around inside, rinsing any possible residue that happens to be there - which is very little. It's when parents are told to repeatedly retract the baby's foreskin to clean underneath it that infections occur. They are causing a wound every time they yank back on it and clean it with something (a wipe, for example). It hurts, burns and isn't needed. Clean what is seen. Wash the outside of a baby and young childs penis just like you wash your hands. |

Re: Damage Caused by Infant Circumcison.
I see the tireless anti-circ militants have crawled out from under their rocks.  |

As soon as I saw what this was, I knew they would be out in full force.  |

Re: Damage Caused by Infant Circumcison.
Do you have something against protecting infants from unnecessary genital amputation?

Re: Damage Caused by Infant Circumcison.
Again, what is your problem with protecting infants from unnecessary genital amputation? And I have no issue with circumcision chosen by a consenting adult, but forcing it on an infant or child is clearly wrong.
