Ottawa, ON (AHN) - A medical journal has reported a case of a one-week-old infant who died from complications after being circumcised in an unidentified hospital in Ontario, Canada.
In its April 2007 edition, Paediatrics and Child Health reported a case in which an infant, whose parents did not want him identified, was brought back to his family doctor by his parents 5 hours after he had been circumcised. At that time, his parents said he was "very irritable and had blue discoloration below the umbilicus when he cried." The baby's physicians sent the child home.
The baby's parents took him to another hospital 14 hours after his circumcision because he was still irritable and his penis was swollen. Dr. Jim Cairns, who is the deputy chief coroner in Ontario, said that at that time, doctors found the baby's bladder was "seven or eight times its normal size."
The baby boy subsequently died after going into septic shock, which Dr. Cairns said is "an overwhelming infection, leading to multi-organ failure."
Dr. Cairns, who became involved because the provincial coroner's office must review all deaths of all children younger than 5 in the province of Ontario, said that death is a rare complication of circumcision.
I'm sure it didn't stop you but you likely need libricant. I used to think people that needed a accessory were insane until I realized why.
There are only 700 or so accidental gun deaths every year, the 1500 you site probably includes undetermined death, police intervention and justifible homicide. Also roughly one person under the age of 19 dies every 3 days from an accident with a gun.
So, God made specialized tissue on the most sensitive part of a man's body, simply for the someone else to hack off. What a wacky world.
Squeako you should make a pinglist, would be fun finding a name for it lol.
You are one humorless pr*ck.
I didn’t mean to be humorless, I just had to point out one more thing that circumcised men never realized they lost.
Tell it to God.
That's exactly right. Generally speaking, men circumcised at birth typcially never know how the intact parts are even supposed to function, let alone their purposes or sensations.
It's sort of like watching a regular TV signal on an HDTV monitor. If you've always had regular TV, and didn't know how HDTV is supposed to look, you might be perfectly satisfied with what you're seeing. You might not even think twice about it and it certainly might not affect your viewing pleasure. "Hey, it looks fine."
But someone who's always been watching 1080p HDTV is going to say, "You don't know what you're missing. It's not supposed to look like that."
There's no reason to routinely disable the resolution of our HDTVs.
Well, since it's not necessary for us Christians to do it at all, He must have changed His mind with The New Covenant.
Kyle died during the Bris ceremony? I thought he was eaten by wolves....
“Michael Moore said so...”
...thought that was Cuba...or, Haiti...one or the other...
“Well, if you read the Bible, the same God who created the foreskin instituted circumcision. According to Scripture, HE was the one who introduced it. Tell Him He made a mistake doing that, why don’t you?”
And if you read alittle closer, you’ll know for WHO and WHY God instituted it to begin with. Has nothing to do with hygiene or disease prevention.
Well, now you have! ;)

BTW, his comment was always made tongue-in-cheek. He was the third of three brothers who served in the Navy from 1941 (before Pearl Harbor) to 1946.
Must you shout? It’s rude.
Or a turtleneck guy in crewneck world, as my eldest brother says.
Absolutely right. Baby recovers well from circumcicion. When it is done as an adult, it is very painful, takes awhile to heal, much swelling, etc.
As to health benefits, many have been set forth above, but you refer to situation where man is pre-diabetic or has even a trace of sugar in urine. This results in yeast infection on member which is very painful and causes open sores.
The people who rally against circumcision for one reason or another are just as nuts as the PETA crowd.
“clitoridectomy ,
