Whatever you do, don't take my finger!

*stay calm, sam you can do this*

Barring medical necessity, why not let the child decide when he's of the age to?

Medical authorities, the AMA no less, say there is no medical reason for this procedure on a newborn.

Why is it right and proper to operate on a boy's genitals with the parent's consent, but not a girl child? How many of you are ready to argue for female genital modification on a newborn?

*hold on, sam*

You do realize the surgery is done without anesthetic? Many mothers report how "quiet" their sons are after the procedure without realizing their son is in shock. Without getting too graphic, these body parts infolved are fused together much like the fingernail joins the flesh underneath. They can't be cut apart, they must be pulled apart, or ripped if you prefer. And without anesthetic, remember.

*easy... back off a little bit*

I don't understand how thinking people will allow their newborn sons to be treated in this manner. I don't know what to say. I guess I'm thankful I've seen most of your pictures and I know for a fact most of you don't have bones in your noses.

*FOUL! alright, that was outta line apologize now*

I'm sorry. That was a cheap shot. But I don't get it. Somebody please explain to me why this is right. Please?
