ok here is the deal im in a human sexuality class and i need to propose and argument about why should a new baby boy get circumcised.
Im not religious and i need 3 arguments explaining why you SHOULD get your baby circumcised?
thanks
Well if you want to undermine the case, how about:
15. "Because any child with a foreskin is a pedafile"[SIZE=-1]
20. [/SIZE]Because "to NOT BE CIRCUMCISED ... [is] ... old-fashioned"
26. To teach him that the world is a painful place / that life hurts / To toughen 'em up for real life / Because "It teaches them that pain doesn't matter."
31. To prevent "psychological trauma due to castration anxiety"
39. Because they told his mother at the hospital if she didn't have him circumcised he wouldn't be able to father children / Isnt it true a boy needs to be circumcised if he is going to have children?
56. Because if he isn't circumcised at birth he won't want to be circumcised later
65. Because it saves him from the embarassment of having to ask for it
68. Because the foreskin will fall off if a baby is put into a hot tub of water for a bath. (One of my favourites.)
82. Because [doctors] would not be able
to pull the foreskin back to see if anything is wrong.
86. To make the penis look like that of a kangaroo
92. To control our animal desires
97. To confer a tendency for caring, reasoning and spiritual experience.
98. Because it acts like Shock Treatment (ECT, ElectroConvulsive Therapy) to activate the brain
99. As a prophylactic measure against demons
109. Because Allah wants him to be a Muslim
117. Because the foreskin concentrates negative energy
252. Because "when it is trimmed it looks like it is ALWAYS ready for action."
260. To improve his appetite.
301. Because "If you don't do that they get a rupture"
310. Because "It makes a boy mature faster"
359. To use his foreskin to make a magical lotion, protective against enemies.
365. To enable him to become not just a very fine, but a great actor
366. To prevent him becoming a
presidential assassin.
