Those are medical procedures. FGM is entirely elective and serves no practical purpose, aside from religious nonsense.

And medical decisions should absolutely not be left to doctors, that opens up a ton of ethical issues. Doctors, however, shouldn't be allowed (and certainly not required) to perform an unethical medical procedure.
