Whether you subscribe to creationism or evolutionism,I think you would agree that neither god or nature makes "fuck ups", Every part of the human body must surely have a purpose so why make these modifications, not even for religious reasons. If a Jewish or muslim male wants to go down that path let him decide for himself as an adult.If the "creator" had meant Jews and Muslims not to have foreskins, I'm sure he/she would have made them that way.Female genital modification has been outlawed world-wide, why not male.For the record I'm "done" and an athiest.PSAs a funny foot note, I'd never really had a strong view on this until tail docking of dogs was banned in Australia

Circumcision should be outlawed

well mate if it wasnt for circumcision i would still have my phimosis problem ,along with many many others. can i ask wen i say ur "done" do u mean ur circed? i had it a few weeks ago, im 18btw and i must admit at first i was a bit worried and well honestly i didnt want it, but now actualy im happy with it and it looks better than it did when i had foreskin, obviously thats my personal opinion tho. Also mate i believe jesus was circumcised (Luke 2:21), and as many believe he was the creator (aka God - this is a debate amongst christians tho) perhaps he did want us all to have it done. However again i think circumcision should be left to personal opinion, or like me if you require it for mediacal reasons. Rather a strong veiw to outlaw something that can both help one medically, and also has been part of traditions of thousands of years.

A new born circumcized male = FREEDOM OF CHOICE ??I'm glad I don't live in your democracy
-
Thats fine as an essential medical procedureI refer to "it looks nicer" or religious superstitions
-
i believe Helms may have thought you meant it should be banned altogether (nobody may get one ever for any reason)rather than circumsizing a new born should be banned, which it should be left to the kid to decide unless theres a noticeable medical defect with it from the start
-
well circumcision shouldnt be outlawed then buzzie , if if was outlawed then guys like me , tommo etc would still have phimosis and would therefore struggle through life
-
your speech about how nature never makes mistakes is a nice idea but, if you ever studied advanced biology, totally untrue.lets see you tell all the guys I know that are getting tattoos that their skin is perfect as god made it. just like many guys thinks desacrating their skin with a tattoo is an improvement, alot of men think circumcision improves the penis especially when your penis doesn't work cause you got phimosis.

I won't agree with outlawing circumcision completely but there should definitely be laws preventing the circumcision of anyone without their informed consent. That would mean being old enough to decide for yourself ...
-
Well I don't think it should be outlawed. Personally I think it should be the choice of the person. I don't agree with circumcision at birth. I think its something that an individual should decide for themselves. I'm uncut and wouldn't have it any other way, and when I have children, its gonna be their choice when they become older

ye i agree with that Trevor1982, nicely put

As circumcision being performed on non-consenting minor children (male and female) as a cosmetic procedure, not medically indicated, I agree completely.With the exception of countries having a religious foundation in Islam or Judaism and the United States, child cosmetic circumcisions are virtually unknown or at worst, in the low percentages.I believe it would be completely outlawed except for one factor - Judaism. Politically, being labled an anti-Semite is a kiss of death, and every time something like infant circ comes up, the Jewish community starts screaming anti-Semitism.Sweden broke ground on this issue, and the Jewish community went balistic. However, the Swedish government was more concerned with protecting ALL children and had the balls to ignore and brush aside the ticky religious practice of Judaism and Islam which thinks it has the right to mutilate the sexual organs of minor, non-consenting, children as if they were chatel to be marked as "their" property.Both of these religious faiths, indeed the leaders restate it, that the essence of belonging is to be forced to obey and ignore any individual's right of free choice.In the US, beyond those two religions, the popularity of child non-medical circumcision largely came about through medical quakery at the turn of the last century, fueled by a pre-occupation with the "sin" of masturbation. US fathers seem to have a mental hangup that their son's penis has to shaped exactly like theirs (I doubt very much that the kids care or even notice when they're young) and US mothers seem to enjoy the idea of having the power to alter their son's sexual organ according to fashion or look. One wonders if the same priveledge is extended to US Dads regarding their daughters, having the hood of their clitoris cut away to expose the clitoral glans. Think of the aid to cleanliness - no accumulations of smegma, the enhancement of sexual enjoyment and the nicer look of the glans clitoris instead of an unsightly clitoral foreskin or hood for their daughter?Now, if you're legally of age, and want to have yourself circumcised, for whatever reason, go for it. I have no problem with that. But child cosmetic circumcisions simply violate the rights of the child to the whole body they were born with. Having that, they can later decide if they want to modify it as an adult when they can weigh the consequences.

Yeah, I don't think it should be outlawed, and I don't think it will EVER be outlawed
-
yea, i doubt it will, and as i AM circumsized, i wouldnt have it outlawed
-
Its the persons choice if they want to get a Circumcision, unless they got it at birth. Like I said before. Its their penis, should be their choice.Just because you think it should be outlawed, doesn't mean that other people thing that way.

I'd actually have my kid circumsized, as my parents did me, family tradition i guess
-
I'm circumsized and glad it happened. Most girls don't want a non-circumsized dick.
-
In the whole world.. you know that to be a fact?
-
I'd actually have my kid circumsized, as my parents did me, family tradition i guess Is there any possibility that you'd leave the decision up to your kid, since the procedure is not reversible? It's his penis, after all, not yours.

did i get a choice? did my dad get a choice? nope, so, the answer is, no, unless the lady hase soemthing to say about it, snippy snippy
