Whereas a neonate does not require any explanation to circumcise, a pre-pubescent boy on the other hand will indeed require a large
amount of brainwashing, ‘lying’, cajoling, manipulation and ultimately deception to amputate his foreskin, as surely happens in religious
and cultural circumcisions. The preparations by parents are in most likelihood to be a covert or clandestine affair and what a lot
of parents do not think through is the aftermath of their decision. The violation of trust must surely cause a lot of damage to their
relationship and the likely resentment by the child towards the parents for causing so much pain, discomfort and permanent loss of
the foreskin. Many circumcised adult men will often say that the trust in their parents was affected and damaged by their decision
to have their foreskins severed.
There are thankfully a dedicated number of anti-circumcision activists who are working very hard to change the current ignorance,
prejudice and hostility about the male penis which have been so prevalent for so long. Marilyn Milos who was a nurse in
Experimentation on children is normally governed by rigorous rules and painful experimentation is especially restricted, except when it seems when it involves circumcision, when many doctors inflict major pain on neonates with impunity. To circumcise a neonate or pre-pubescent boy is a despicably cowardly act because these defenceless innocents are not able to consent to this preposterous action. The targeting of the sex and pleasure centres IS unacceptable and the interference by mutilation of the genitals in any way whatsoever is abhorrent, abusive and criminal. ALL parents must know that when they consent to having their children circumcised they are subjected to genital torture and are placing the physical and psychological well being and even the lives of their children at risk. The annual 1.25 million assembly line circumcisions in the U.S are a monument to the gullibility and stupidity of the American public. There can no longer be any excuses for ignorance and misinformation because the facts are speaking very loudly and clearly and there are NEVER any reasons whatsoever to circumcise neither neonate boys nor male children EVER. Physical integrity and self determination are basic and universal rights recognized by numerous international human rights treaties, so for this practice to continue is baffling, perplexing and frustrating.
