American doctors still back circumcision
The term that should be used for this procedure is “male genital mutilation” because that’s what it is. “Circumcision” is a euphemism. It is irresponsible for medical professionals to be advocating this procedure, let alone advocating that it be structurally subsidized by the health insurance system. Most young parents do not yet understand the problems with circumcision. Circumcision actually has profound social consequences that I won’t get into here. Suffice it to say that tattoos, brands, minor amputations and other forms of bodily mutilation have always been practiced by slave-owners as a way to establish ownership of their slaves on a psychological level.
