tonsils and the appendix are not removed as prophylaxis. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 21/06/2011 12:38:48 AM
And for that matter, my understanding is that they are only removed at all because that is our most effective method for treating persistent and recurrent tonsillitis or an impending appendix explosion.

I do not see a minor, preventable and treatable infection as medical justification for permanent and irreparable body modification.




Just so you're clear on where I stand, I am not against circumcision all together, nor do I advocate banning it. If basic hygiene is not achievable in a region, I can see the justification. It's a personal decision for an individual family and there are some pros for circumcision, even if I feel they are insufficient. I'm not going to STOP anyone from circumcising their child. I just don't believe it is a medically justified procedure to cause permanent damage to prevent an easily managed, prevented and treated infection.

Wouldn't a mastectomy be much more intrusive than a circumcism? *NM* - 20/06/2011 06:39:59 AM 402 Views
