Lol...are you for real?Open brain surgery is done with general anaesthesia, and it is done to correct very, very serious conditions, like aneurisms, epileptic seizures, necrosis or edema of brain tissue or to remove tumors. This is completely different from male genital mutilation, which not only is not an issue of life and death, but actually increases the risk of developing all the conditions that it supposedly cures.
Yes. I am for real.
You know, I know a few guys who've needed to have their foreskins lopped off late in life because they have picked up an issue or two which needed that severe a treatment. We call that "knob-rot" in my neck of the woods.
I know of no cut guys who have needed anything similar. That, in my book, says a great deal.
What a poor analogy. You had an injury that required treatment. Male genital mutilation, conversely, is not necessary at all. In fact, it is an injury and at least a few infants have bled to death due to it.
Nope. The point is a baby or child crying does not mean that its world is ending. Of course, a few infants have bled to death from the procedure, but undoubtedly a few have died from complications of conditions contracted which would have been minimised had circumcision been performed. Refer to my knob-rot comment above.
Yes, but there is crying and then there's crying. Infants who udergo male genital mutilation show dramatic increases in systolic blood pressure, blood glucocorticoid levels and often slip into a comatose state that lasts for up to three days after the excision. Do infants show dramatic increases in systolic blood pressure and glucocorticoid levels when they are hugry, feeling too cold or warm? No. So your argument is pathetic. Sorry. Try again.![]()
Really? How often?
If that were indeed the case in the millions of children snipped every year in countries all over the planet, I'm sure there would be much more of a fuss than there has been. So why don't you try again - start with providing a few stats, hmmm? Incidentally, I think changes in blood pressure are routine with changes in temperature - you can google it, if you like.
Nobody denies that a baby feels a bit of pain. However, I don't remember it, if I did feel it. I do remember when my thumb was ripped off, though - that was pain. Those of us who were done are usually not opposed to it, nor do we feel "mutilated." Shouldn't that count for something?
Yawn...appeal from authority doesen't work with me, sport. Especially since the conclusion of the experts does not correlate with empirical data. And by the way, it tells me that something is wrong when only the "experts" from a single nationality finds a certain result, which disagrees with all the experts from other nations. Encouraging male genital mutilation is an American thing, and not an "expert" thing.
Yeah... about that... a little place we like to call The Middle East, encompassing many Arabic nations (some not even 5th world shitholes, surprisingly, as someone so thoughtfully phrased it) and also that Israel place. And north and southern Africa as well. Somewhat more than one nationality, I think you'll find.
As for your conspiracy theory about the medical journals being produced by pharmaceutical companies, who do you think stands to gain from this? The company which produces the new circumcision pills?
