Re: Should be outlawed
Buz, that's nonsense.
Just nonsense.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

The argument that circumcision is medically beneficial falls flat when compared against other conditions, such as breast cancer.
Penile cancer is estimated at 1/100,000. Breast cancer is now about 1/8.
If circumcision is medically advantageous, at 1/100,000, then certainly breast removal during infancy is far more medically advantageous.
And at that point the whole argument falls apart.
Circumcision is being done for religious reasons, and nothing more.
When are we going to stop being ruled by those voices in the shamans' silly heads?

Banned?
This and all other forms of ritual genital mutilation should be banned on underage victims.
After that, they can do any silly things to themselves that they choose.
