EXCELLENT! About time infant genital mutililation is stopped! If people want this procedure done, they can have it done themselves when they are able to consent to it!
I'm glad to see more movement toward the protection of the rights of people to determine their own medical care, even if minors. This operation does permanent damage, and if the boy is willing to endure his condition, them more power to him!
New term: "intactivist". An Anti-circer.
The parents probably won't let the kid play dodge-ball either.
I don't have anything against circumcision, but it should be done while the kid's an infant. It seems a little odd to try and force a 9 year old to undergo such a procedure against his will.
Interesting.
The boys FATHER was able to intervene and succeed.
This is interesting.
Now imagine if this was a teenage girl who wanted a boob job or nose job and the father said no...
By this precident, mother or father has the right to veto any cosmetic surgery.
