FGM is only the same as 'male circumcision, breast implants and designer vagina ops': Gynecologists argue genital 'nicks' that don't harm girls should be legalized

    Zitat

    Journal of Medical Ethics

    Ja, ja, die "Ethiker"! *Brech*

    In jener Journaille kamen ja schon die ekligsten Vorschläge, Verpflichtung zu Designerbabys, Ultra-Spät"abtreibung" - nach der Geburt, vermutlich fänden die auch "compulsory circumcision" a la Morris Geschmack.
    Aber wir kennen das ja von unserem Ethik[ver]rat. Kinderrechte? Am Arsch!

    Ethiker wollen sie sein?

    There is no skin like foreskin

    Worte werden zum Bumerang:

    Jürgen Krings (Union) vor dem Bundestag:


    Zitat

    Aber ich hoffe, dass wir uns in weiten Teilen des Hauses einig sind, dass die Beschneidung, die seit Jahrtausenden praktiziert ... wird, schwerlich unter das Verdikt der Sittenwidrigkeit zu fassen ist.

    Seit Jahrtausenden praktiziert, wie die Beschneidung von Mädchen, wie das Prügeln von Kindern, wie das Schlagen von Frauen, wie die Verfolgung Homosexueller, wie die Todesstrafe, die Folter...

    Kann ja dann wohl nicht verkehrt sein?

    Den fanatischsten Verteidigern der MGM wäre vermutlich auch eine Legalisierung der Klitoridektomie egal, Hauptsache, Hauptsache ihre geliebte Tradition bleibt erhalten.
    Mädchen sind dann halt Kollateralschäden.

    There is no doubt that in whatever form, FGA has its origin and purpose in controlling women.'

    Fatou Wurie:


    Zitat

    In Sierra Leone, Bondo is a society for the women by the women. It is much less about the cutting and much more about larger social notions of womanhood and strength. It is space where women exercise power, exchange deep traditional knowledge of child bearing, and institute community support.

    Moses Maimonides:



    Zitat von Ruth Macklin

    'That may be true regarding the degree of harm the procedure causes, but it is not true of the origins or the continued symbolic meaning of FGA as a necessity for being an 'acceptable woman,'


    Zitat von Nelson Mandela


    „In meiner Tradition kann ein Unbeschnittener nicht die Güter
    seines Vaters erben, er kann nicht heiraten, er kann keine
    Stammesrituale leiten. ... ein nichtbeschnittener Mann gilt
    überhaupt nicht als Mann, sondern als ein Knabe.“

    The paper is accompanied by a series of responses, all of them highly critical of the proposal. Two of those commentaries take issue with the original paper’s use of male circumcision as an ethical yardstick, arguing that it too should be either done away with or minimized. “I suggest that children of whatever sex or gender should be free from having healthy parts of their most intimate sexual organs either damaged or removed, before they can understand what is at stake in such an intervention and agree to it themselves,” writes Brian D Earp, a visiting scholar at The Hastings Center Bioethics Research Institute.

    Zitat


    When I was six months old, the old folk in my family invited a ‘mak bidan’ to slit my clitoral hood. I was circumcised and wasn’t even aware of it.
    When I was nine years old, I witnessed my brother’s circumcision and began asking questions. That was when I found out that Muslim girls were circumcised too, just like the boys.

    Zitat

    Muslim girls are cut to make sure they don’t grow up ‘wild’,” I nodded, not understanding the reply.
    Someone in the family later explained to me that a female’s clitoral hood when rubbed against her inner garments could bring about sensual feelings that could lead to wild behaviour.
    “Why then did God create us with ‘that thing’ if feeling ‘good’ is wrong?” I asked.
    No one answered.

    Zitat

    “It lowers the sex drive, and protects young girls from committing sin,” they said. “All of us went through it – you, your mom, your grandmother, your aunties, your cousins, everyone!”

    Anscheinend handelt es sich bei dieser FGM-Form in Malaysia "nur" um ein Aufschlitzen, nicht um eine Amputation der Vorhaut. Also vermtl. eine noch weitaus niedrigere Eingriffstiefe als bei MGM.

    Any form of FGM is a violation of a child's rights


    Zitat

    They also predicted that legalizing more minimal procedures would generate a litany of legal, regulatory and medical problems.
    Global campaigners against FGM said doctors should challenge harmful social norms, not condone them.

    Zitat

    "Why would you put a little girl through that? There should be no medicalization of FGM. They (the gynecologists) are completely behind the times.

    Zitat

    But experts on medical ethics, commenting on the proposal, said procedures to modify girls' genitals could not be compared to male circumcision

    Zitat

    Rights group Equality Now said the "medicalization" of FGM remained one of the biggest threats to its elimination.


    "Equality Now", ha-ha-ha!


    Zitat

    "This is very different to male circumcision.
