I agree it is wrong (opening mouth again), many taboo rituals of different cultures actually have the persons consent. However one should question their consent in reality if we as an overall society wish to ban given practices. One example would be the scarification of young (11-12yr old) boys in some tribes. I mean having hundreds of wounds applied to you in one sitting in a non sterile way is down right insane. Though these children want it done as tradition dictates it and they themselves may feel like they are not men or whatever reason.
