As I have informed you earier
(Vote Against Infant Circumcision), there is a poll over at my friend
Eddi "Snip-Snip" Haskell´s blog concerning whether or not circumcision of infant boys should be baned or not.
I feel the need to remind you that the voting will be going on for four more days, if you havent voted yet please do so a.s.a.p.
"The choosers", of which I am one, believe that there should be a ban against circumcision of infant boys until the individual himself can give a valid consent. We have no objections whatsoever to those men who elect to perform this operation when they are adults and have the possibilty to choose it for themselves.
The choosers believe that the issue is basically a Human Rights one and can be boiled down to this.
"Leave the children's bodies alone, both boys and girls. Teach them healthy routines to clean their genitals on a daily basis. ...all the rest is religion and culture screwing up with nature."
"The snippers", of which Eddi is one, believe that there should be no ban against circumcision of infant boys and that the decision on whether or not circumcision should be performed rests with the parents of the infant boy or the medical profession.They also claim that a vast amount of studies show that there are big health advantages for both the boy himself and the surrounding society and claims this is supported by a vast amount of studies conducted, they therefore believe it should not be banned but left to the parents or the medical profession to decide..
The studies that have been presented by "the snippers" have been opposed by "the choosers" who claim there are a multitude of other studies stating the opposite.
