Do you think that anyone born with a cleft palate, cleft lip, hemangiomas, craniosynostosis, facial palsy, or any corrective jaw surgeries should be told to wait until 18 when all of these procedures are far less effective and far more difficult to do?
Being born with a foreskin isn't a damn defect!
None of those are comparable to genital mutilation based on physical appearance. All those other things directly impact a person's quality of life.
Fair enough, there are quite a bunch of other cases where it might be justified to accept an imperfect form of consent. Still, it might be argued that some of those are necessary surgeries.
Skip to about 1m 50s.
Yeah, not clicking on that. Anyone got a summary?
Which ones?
The key words there are unnecessary surgical interventions. Yeah, if your child's appendix bursts you can have it removed. Having a foreskin is not a medical problem.
