Circumcision is grievous bodily harm, German judges rule

[Lionessa]

7. That's too bad. I'm atheist, always have been and had my son done for med reasons,

so he wouldn't have the childhood long issues his uncle had with urinary infections, that cleared up immediately upon being circumcised at 16yo, which he said was quite excruciating and had wished that like my ex-hub, his brother, he'd be snipped at birth. Not too many folks have a family with brothers, one snipped and one not to make that kind of side by side comparison of the value of circumcision.

Interesting, we can force drugs into children, vaccines, and they have no choice about that, but snip a little piece of skin?

I think part of the problem is the fact that so many see this as only a religious choice, not a medical one, like vaccinations, to avoid urinary tract infections.

Mens/boys penises are not out in the daylight dangling and needing a shroud anymore, so I'm not convinced the need for the shroud is there anymore, regardless of what some men say about sensitivity, because I've heard some swear one way, and other's swear the other way when it comes to sensitivity. I think it should be a family's right to make that decision.
