Brian D. Earp: "Male circumcision: Who should decide?"

  • Zitat

    In a recent editorial, Dr. Andrew L. Freedman, a member of the 2012 AAP task-force on circumcision, argues that “health issues” are only a “small piece of the puzzle” when it comes to this procedure.

    Only the child himself, when he is older, can be certain of his values.” Thus, “if disagreement over values constitutes a reason to let the parents decide, it constitutes an even stronger reason to postpone the decision until the child himself can decide.”

    Indeed, as the history of female circumcision suggests, if male circumcision
    were confined to developing nations, it would by now have emerged as an in-
    ternational cause celebre, stirring passionate opposition from feminists, physicians, politicians, and the global human rights community. If routine medical
    circumcision didn't exist today, no one would dare to invent it.
