But aside from HIV, there are a lot of benefits to circumcision aside from that. There is only upside to circumcision with regard to health.


There is vigorous debate about that. Chopping off an unconsenting child’s private parts SHOULD be controversial.

Pulling all a child’s teeth prevents cavities, too. Maybe teaching brushing is wiser. Let adults decide whether to disfigure themselves.

First, a child’s “private parts”, meaning his penis, isn’t “chopped off”. The foreskin is removed. Maybe you should know that its’ only uncircumcised men that get penile cancer. And while you contemplate whether foreskin removal is a “disfigure”, ask yourself: do you also feel that way about haircuts and trimming a child’s toenails and fingernails? Do they “consent” to those things?
