Time to ban male circumcision for non medical reasons

[MeouwKing]

Just that, there has been a tragedy

Or as the coroner has suggested to regulate the industry?

Should be charged with manslaughter at the very least

This will never happen. Best we can hope for is regulation of the industry

There's already a thread on this here OP.

So heart breaking.

@OneGreySeal but it is an unnecessary procedure, so should be banned, unless person is able to give consent ( and parents’ consent for non medical procedure should not count)

Sorry, I will join the other thread.

I understand your view on it but a vast majority of society will not and therefore regulation is the best course.

Unlike the US, circumcision - other than for religious reasons - is not common in the UK. Out of my class at secondary school (32 boys) only 3 were circumcised - I wasn't one of them - and two of those were Jews.

I agree it is totally un-necessary.

I disagree that the vast majority of society support circumcision first non-medical (ie religious!) reasons

Agreed 👍

What evidence do you have that a vast majority of UK society will disagree? I don't believe that for a second. I strongly agree OP that it should be banned.

Ban it for religious purposes? All religions?

Fucking hate myself every day for letting my babies paternal side bully me into having this done. We’re supposed to protect our kids and I let them mutilate him. He is fine but I said no with child no 2. He can decide when he’s old enough to

I didn’t realise it’s available on the NHS in Scotland
