Circumcision is genital mutilation. Danish Medical Association stops recommending until after age of consent.
Danish medical association stops recommending circumcision for kids under the age of consent. That's because they recognize it as a type of sexual violence against male children. Hopefully this kind of progress happens elsewhere too. The article is right below. An Adam Ruins Everything episode is linked below too to help show where the practice originated and why it's pretty frickin' stupid that it goes on still.
I think of it as a pretty simple choice. Don't cut a substantial portion of your child's genitals off. It's abuse.
Agree!!!! I have 2 boys and that has to be their own decision. I wouldn't even pierce my daughters' ears until she repeatedly requested it!
For a male child, I think circumcision is a great choice and better done at a young age.
