A family says their newborn son nearly bled to death and is fighting for his life after he was circumcised at a New York City hospital.
Tim and Gabrielle Groth said their son, Cole, underwent the circumcision at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in Manhattan, where he was born on March 31.
Stop circumcising children. Let men decide if they want to be circumcised when they reach the age of consent at the age of 18. I guarantee circumcision will drop by 95% or more.
And if that’s the case, that circumcision only exists if you don’t give the boy the choice, then don’t fucking force this on an infant!
Let’s replace “curcumsising” with “imposing religion” to get the same result
Yes and no. That’s a much harder thing to argue in reality. I’m an atheist so I’m pretty anti-religion, but the reality is that all parents want to teach their child at least some of their worldview. If that worldview includes religion, who are we to say “no, you can’t teach that”? The child can always change their mind when they’re older and in theory there’s no harm. But a child can’t decide to get their foreskin back. (I know there is a surgery to try to add some back, but it’s just aesthetic, the nerves will never be recovered.)
Stop
molestingmutilating children would be my advice.*mutilating

i believe one baby got oral herpes on the babies genitals that was passed to from the MOHEL.
As a Jewish person there are traditions and practices that are better abandoned
Male genital mutilation.
Luckily is was almoat, it happens every year. It’s rare but it possible to bleed to death from this
Unless you’re some religious nut job, there is zero benefit and a lot of harm you can do by circumcising. So stop doing it.
EDIT: I was wrong, there is some medical reasons for the procedure later in life to address problems.
This is a general statement, and not factual. To say there is zero benefit (across the board): wrong. There are benefits, medically, for specific people with issues that warrant it. I had a later-in-life circumcision for medical problems, so I know. To say it is something you should do to a newborn: very wrong. This is something that has a fucked up history, and should only be done when needed (or wanted, I suppose) later in a person’s life… of their own choosing.
This has to be qualified more strongly. Most of the medical benefits of circumcision are apparent only after puberty. There is no medical reason to circumsize a baby.
I agree.
I’m sorry, I hadn’t considered that it might be done later to correct a problem. I honestly hope you weren’t offended.
No worries! I took no offense worth you not speaking your own mind… I just wanted to give my own thoughts on the matter.
These exchanges are why I love Lemmy.
Oh, fuck off, nerd.

Crazy idea, don’t do cosmetic surgery on a baby?
Good. One less yank
These people have the weirdest fetishes lmao imagine cutting through your own son’s dick like that. Bunch of sadistic pedoz if u ask me. They even have baby gunz like apparently they send their kids to school with gunz so the kids shoot other kids. Sick country
Actually all americans are pedophile there i said it. I’m not taking questions
I just want to clarity- You’re cheering on the potential death of a newborn child?
Looking at your last statement and looking through the web i have to agree. However don’t you think you yourself have become a little bit too infatuated with the topic? Like don’t get me wrong, circumcision needs to go the fuck away (apart from very, very, very few medical reasons). Genital mutilation is however nothing sexual, but mostly cultural and religious (and i know you know that).
So someone tried to do a post birth abortion?
Maybe we should stop routine elective cosmetic penis surgery on infants?
It’s not elective. They baby can’t elect to having part of their genitals cut off.
It’s elective because there’s no medical reason to do it. Babies don’t get to choose anything for themselves. An adult can elect to have a circumcision, and parents can elect to have their babies circumcised. It would be a better world if the latter weren’t true, but that ain’t the kind of world we got.
Stop with the “cosmetic surgery” and call it what it is…genital mutilation!
It’s both. Parents want their babies to have designer penises, so they pay doctors to mutilate them for aesthetic reasons. It is mutilation, and it is cosmetic surgery.
Then they should have got that Chinese doctor to crispr some horse genes in there.
There’s a really easy way to tell whether or not you should decide to circumcise a penis. First, check if it’s your penis. If it isn’t your penis, don’t circumcise it BECAUSE THAT IS NOT YOUR DICK AND YOU DO NOT GET TO DECIDE WHICH FLESH BELONGS AND WHICH DOESN’T ON IT.
niche medical conditions walking in
Jkjk
My bro had one for medical reason, there’s no problem with that even though we usually dont do it here
I had a foreskin issue where I couldn’t pull it back. Got it removed around age 10. Wasn’t fun but now my captain doesn’t wear his cap to dinner. Looks normal too.
I assumed they were specifically talking about babies. If there’s a genuine issue then it makes sense, but I don’t know of anything that’s diagnosable at birth that would require circumcision.
I know a lot of young adults also get the procedure for the same reason as you. I was in your boat until probably my mid-teens before things fixed themselves, but it clearly doesn’t work out that way for some.
Awful parents.
Stop mutilating your children.
Stupid fucking parents.
FAFO.
In parenting classes in my liberal area, the nurses will say “I’m required to tell you that circumcision has medical benefits”. Then they fume how it’s based off bad research and cut themselves short. “However it’s not like your son will be lined up for a nude photo. You can break the cycle of trauma”. I’m lucky to live here.
Damn you have some good nurses. In my liberal area the best they did was mention that it’s optional (literally some people think it’s not). We also have liberal relatives who did it to their son just so he’d “look like dad.” Wtf
My partner gets mad when I point out that the same “medical benefits” can be said for FGM.
