Should circumcising babies be illegal

Yes it should be. No parent should be able to change any part of their child's body for cosmetic reasons. Plus it is painful to the infant. If the Guy wants to do it when he's older then that will be his choice. If it causes issues, then sure, remove it.

It is not for "cosmetic reasons". A turtle neck as Generic calls it can cause diseases. And it is a religious thing that shows your a Jew/Christian

It can cause diseases, but doesn't mean it will. It's meant to protect the developing penis. A religious reason is no better than a cosmetic reaso. Islamic people mutilate the clitoris of women, this is basically the same thing. Keeping the foreskin will do no harm in the majority of the population. Although some people do do it as a religious identifier, why not do it later in life? Give The guy the choice. It'd mean a lot more spiritually if he gets to make the conscience choice

Yes.

Side: No

Female genital mutiliation is not tolerated yet this is no different. It is a barbaric act and is damaging to the penis as it reduces sensation. Babies can't consent to it.

I don't get why it's so common for Americans to do this to their kids when they're not even Jewish. Outside of America, with the exception of muslims, circumcision of Gentiles is virtually unheard of.

Eh, I don't mind it myself. Never been a fan of turtle necks.

P.S.: Plus, there's always the smegma issue.

Well you won't feel as much when having sex. Not having a "turtle neck" just looks wrong and unnatural.

Side: Yes

Yes it is unheard of, in some countries, but those ones do much more cruel things. Also it cuts off the piece that causes diseases.

Side: No

I'm European countries circumcision is not done by Gentiles and we do nothing that is more cruel so your point is incorrect.

Also its not worth giving up sexual pleasure do reduce the chances of getting a disease that you know you're not going to get anyway.

I understand that you're not educated and are a passionate gay and all who doesn't find women remotely attractive but to say that cutting off the clit (equivalent of the male penis head) and even the tabula too (equivalent of the skin at the base of the head just under the foreskin) is the same as male circumcision is to not comprehend science. :)

Yes, it should be. It is torturous but it is also good for the baby when he grows up. It will be easier to clean

There is NO moral excuse for cutting up a baby's penis/vagina. It's not your body. I honestly get sick when I think about it being legal and actually happening. I'm afraid of thinking about the screams of the baby and how the child will feel later on in life. Good thing it's legal to sue your parents for it later.

It sound very ironic with your user name. Do you really expect people to take you seriously in this debate with that username? ;)

You have no business responding to a 17 day old argument. Good bye, you're now banned. If you grovel for forgiveness I might consider unbanning you.

I don't know, should we stop populating the earth and wait until it dies off? Of course it would be illegal! This inflicts pain to a child, too!

I don't think so. There's no pain and it's better than having it later in life. Plus there are restoration processes available.

Well you won't get the same sensation when having sex that normal people would. Also circumcised penises don't look as good.
