Circumcision: What is your opinion?
Hi everyone,
I was circumcised shortly after I was born. I didn’t even figure out that I had been circumcised until I was about 10 (I thought I was just born that way). Around 13 or 14 I started becoming very sad and angry about it because I had no choice over it and I wished that I still had my foreskin. I still struggle with this every day. I personally believe that circumcising boys without their consent (when they are just babies) should be outlawed. I’m not against the procedure itself but I believe that the person receiving it should have consented to it. Even if there enough evidence to support circumcision (which there really isn’t, research only shows a slight drop in std’s), I still don’t think it should be done to a child who has no control. You’re taking away a part of someone’s body (one of their most important parts at that) without their permission, most of the time just because it is a tradition. If someone wants to be circumcised later in life I think that it is totally fine, but not as a child. What are your opinions on this?
