CDC: Circumcision Benefits Outweigh Risks

[Harmony Blue]

393. There is no significant benefits to circumcision to human populations

which is why this topic is rigorously debated and not settled. That is why there are so many papers done on this because there is a lot of disagreement.

That is why the WHO and CDC have conducted studies that contradict their findings very often. More specifically, regarding populations in Africa compared to European or North American populations. As it is related to the propensity to contract STD's and HIV.

The entire "argument" to remove the foreskins is that it increases the likelyhood of infections because of the increased surface area off the skin. However, as we all know in Africa, HIV infections are sky high, so it doesn't seem significantly beneficial to discuss it as a important reason to circumcise male babies. Condom usage would do more to reduce the chance of STD and HIV infections as well as help with population dynamics in the LDC.In Ancient times, circumcision had a practical reason, and that was due to arid, Aoelian environments, or there was a lack of water.

Modern times, we have access to water and body cleaning products as well as condoms in the MDC (Major Developed Countries). Pushing this as a key "benefit" when it is marginal and not really as significant as wearing a condom, or proper cleaning practices is not only misleading, but also exposes an agenda.
