I agree. It is uncommon in the West for girls and boys to die during circumcision/excision. The reason more children die in Africa is because it often involves rudimentary surgical materials, like razor blades, scissors, and shards of glass, etc.
Disagree; circumcisions on anyone but a consenting adult should be outlawed.
"Their child" is not a possession. "Their child" is a human being, born with the same rights as all humans. A parent's rights supersede their childs' rights only in extreme circumstances, when they must ('for the well-being of the child,' or whatever) and I see no reason why circumcision must be performed before a reasonable age of consent, muchless an infant, except that an older child would probably put out rather more of a protest, which strikes me as a sneaky kind of dick-move on the parents' part (if you'll pardon the pun).
GS-Yeah we get it. You think that every man should be cut, even if his parents did not want it done to him.
no i dint think he should if his parents dint want him to be. but should one parent have total parental rights then it is that parents right to do so. an no it isn't OK for them to cut of his arm or leg so don't come back with an BS.about it like some do usually here on this.
Vinyl~Boys have died in hospitals with doctors and sterile equipment during circucisions in countries that are not Africa where there is advanced health care such as America.
girls have died as well from operations gone wrong. in countries that are not Africa to and also in America. but we never see or read about any of them much here on lpsg. your guys must not care about them huh? well guess what they are human two. unlike that little flap of skin between your legs. an yes in reference to your post above when i posted the BS flag thats what it is in the way some of you guys are using it here to further your cause. deep down you care nothing for these boys. how could you much? as you probably don't even know them, but since it is something you can post to further your cause then by all means plaster it all over the place.. they died its tragic. go kill the Dr. who circumcised them as it wasn't circumcision that killed them it was the stupid who did it an didn't know how is where the problem is not circumcision in its self. their are way to many guys circumcised to run around saying its unlawful, kills people, or what ever else you want to use to further your cause than their is bad out comes. it was a tragic thing granted but circumcision alone here isn't the problem as some of you are making it out to be. your grasping at straws to further your cause here.
Also there was a case where a boy was getting his penis cut by a Mohel and he got herpes from the Rabbi, and this happened in America.
