You are correct about the Jewish method of circumcision. I had forgotten about that and was focusing on the in-hospital method that is common in the US among non-Jews.
2. How can you sue a poor barber or a woman or man who lives in a tent in sub-Saharan Africa? It doesn't work like that. If someone goes wrong, there's not always a way to make them pay for it.
As for the information about methods, complications and other medical and procedural related questions, a good starting place is the World Health Organizations fact page here:

Again, I am against circumcision on baby boys, whether in a hospital or not. I also have no problem calling it MGM (or male genital mutilation) it's just not commonly used and I didn't bother explaining it in my post.
Mutilation is mutilation no matter what you call it.
You can pick apart my opinion word by word if it makes you feel better somehow, but the funny thing is I think we agree that mutilating boys' or girls' genitals is wrong.
I don't understand the "yeah but so do men" type of comments because I never argued otherwise. My view of human rights includes both MEN and WOMEN.
