Denmark - Circumcision of Healthy Boys ?Ethically Unacceptable? Procedure Offering No Benefit
 

Denmark’s 29,000 Doctors Declare Circumcision of Healthy Boys an “Ethically Unacceptable” Procedure Offering no Meaningful Health Benefits


Except within the small Muslim and orthodox Jewish communities, people in Denmark wonder why on Earth any parents would want to have their precious newborn child held down to have a part of his healthy, yet immature, penis cut off. According to a nationally representative poll from the summer of 2016, 87% of Danes favor a legal ban on non-therapeutic circumcision of boys under the age of 18 years. So far, politicians have been hesitant, but increasingly willing to listen.

Doctors and medical organizations in Denmark, the other Nordic countries and, with one notable exception, elsewhere in the Western world agree that circumcision of healthy boys is ethically problematic. It is considered an operation seriously and patently at odds with the Hippocratic oath (”first do no harm”) and one that is in conflict with a variety of international conventions, most notably the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the Child.

The one Western country that is out of sync with its international peers is the United States, whose federal health authorities and national associations of pediatricians, obstetricians, family physicians and urologists endorse and perform most of these medically unnecessary operations in the country. Amputation of healthy infant foreskins constitutes the single most common surgical procedure in the United States – a several hundred million dollars a year industry.

I never understood why they would cut off the best bit...

Some religions see that as the most evil bit :2 cents:

People who mutilate children should be severely prosecuted :mad:

Dane's like dick cheese

If we start amputating feet at birth there will be no more smelly socks

What's wrong? you self-conscious about your alien head looking dick? lol

Cut that shit off.

If they start cutting off the alien head to avoid embarrassment, they will need some form of replacement lol

This thread will be full of anteaters in denial lol

let me let you in on a little secret...big dick people have no problem with foreskin...I know you do not know what I am talking about :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh but if you are big dick you do not need a circumcision at all it just rolls back and there aint no dick cheese either...

also mutilating kids genitals is SUPER WEIRD :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'll just drop this here for you osama bin laden.......

Getting circumcised will result in:

? Having to go through a very minor surgical procedure that carries with it small risks.

? Improved hygiene.

? Much lower risk of urinary tract infections.

? Much lower chance of acquiring HIV, the AIDS virus, heterosexually.

? Virtually complete elimination of the risk of invasive penile cancer.

? Slightly lower risk of prostate cancer.

? More favorable hygiene for the man?s sexual partner.

? Much lower risk of cervical cancer and Chlamydia (and thus infertility and other problems) in the female sexual partner.

? More favorable sexual function and experience, with no reduction in sensation during arousal or in the sensitivity of the flaccid penis.

? A penis that is regarded by most men and women as being more attractive.

Fully agree. Cutting children for no medical reason should be a criminal offence. It's mutilation.

No, they just like to shower regularly :winkwink: :1orglaugh

It seems there are 29k doctors in Denmark and many 1000's more actual experts around the world who don't agree that it's worth it - I will listen to them over you - No offense but mine will stay where is...

Not to mention I can't afford to lose an inch....

I kept reading that as 'heterosexuality' - It was a very confusing 15 seconds:error...

quite the opposite. The only reason it exists is because there are people like you who have to have their son's look exactly like them. You have to invent notions that the practice is health relevant when it has been proven opposite for over a hundred years now.

It's not just the people though, doctors do the exact same thing. They had this done to them so they invent clinical reasons to continue a practice that serves no purpose. It derives from religious practices, that should be the first flag for most of you. Female circumcision is considered barbaric by everyone here--where is the difference here? it is the same skin involved.

pride is a weakness

Circumcision and Urinary Tract Infections

444 circumcisions prevent one UTI :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

dude just get over it, you are advocating some weird ass shit :2 cents:

agreed .....

Most dicks in porn are circumsized, they seem to function fine and also look estetically pleasing. I get the whole argument for the anti-circumcision crowd but the proof is in the pudding. If it doesn't affect functionality, improved estetics and helps hygiene, perhaps it's not a bad thing.

Totally agree on that. The same applies to a female genitally circumcision as well. If someone wants to "mod" his/her body (cut off some part of flesh or remove bones, make piercing/tattoo, add some scars or implant various objects under the skin) - that ok, just become an adult and abuse your own body as much as you want, you are even free to kill yourself if you like it. But doing those barbarian things on kids w/o a medical reason is a pure criminal offense IMHO.

You're asking what the difference is between cutting off a chick's clit vs foreskin? Here's a hint: they're not even remotely the same thing :1orglaugh

:thumbsup

I have always been saying that.

Feel free to get cut if it's your own will, but kids can't decide on their own.

Your list is mostly nonsense, and you don't explain why circumcising women is considered mutilation, but circumcising men isn't--but then I've never seen any pro-circumcision advocate explain their way around that, except for vague mumblings about religious traditions, etc. Also, circumcision is done on very young boys who obviously can't give their consent to what is a medically unnecessary, elective procedure--how is that ethically acceptable?

What is there to explain about the difference between cutting off a woman's clitoris and cutting off foreskin? One is barbaric and offers zero benefits.

As I understand it...the most erogenous nerve endings on the entire penis are in the foreskin. Circumcision removes them. :(

Not cool at all. Plus it takes off an inch or so of length from the appearance of your soft cock. :(

It was done to me right after I was born. I had no part of a VERY important decision on my own body.

If a full grown man wants to get circumsized. So be it.

But what was done to me and millions of other infants is bullshit. :(

20,000 Nerve Endings ? The Circumcision Decision

Yeah I'd be surprised if you can catch heterosexuality from an uncircumcised penis.

Lol @ the circumcision apologist with his list of why it's cool to snip a part of your son's penis off...1in 444 boys will not get a urinary tract infection...Oh the benefits!...

The biggest consequence of circumcision is the decrease of sexual pleasure for men. It was invented by extremists religious to control men's sexual drive. In practice circumcision generates frustration and it's in the countries where it's most imposed that there are the greatest number of sexual abuses.

The only advantage of circumcision is it is a remedy to premature ejaculations... :stoned

It's not uncommon for the abused to defend their abuser.

His parents, removed part of his genitals, it's abuse - there's no other answer for it!

Ask a girl if she would prefer blowing an unwashed circumcised dick or an unwashed uncircumcised dick.

Also the added benefit of him not cumming before she does.

if she is in to sucking dirty dicks then I suspect the extra cheese will come as a bonus...

I suspect that this will start fierce duscussions in the Netherlands and other countries.

In Holland mostly muslims and jews do it, is not a fashion under other groups.
So after critisings all traditions and history of Holland and putting up the 'white quilt' frame.
Here you have the answer, stop mutilating childs in our country or get in jail/out.
And after that, haram meat will be the next. Cause to a lot of people that is animal cruelty.

I see this discussion coming within 5 years. If other people aren't tolerant to the traditions and history of a country they come to, there will be no respect for theirs. And it is only respect for religion nobody started to talk about it. In Holland they allow it cause it is religion and else they would go another country where it is less hygienic the Dutch government says.
And it is not only these doctors in Denmark, also the international ombudsman says; let people decide themself when they are 18.

I see now Robbie thinks also that way and i know more people who get cut and didn't like the fact they had no choice.
Put a group of them on TV, and start a protest group and there you go, the heat is on.

I wait till Geert Wilders start it. But i think he is yet silent cause he don't want to upset jews. But than others will.
And i am almost sure there will become a majority that will forbid it.

Absolutely correct. The circumcision sufficiently decreases the sensitivity of genitals (not even mention it makes masturbation w/o a lube very difficult), so there is no difference between male and female circumcision - both made to decrease pleasure of sexual act. That's a barbarian and radical religious act which does not bring any benefits to human's health. The natural selection is not dumb and it was made us optimal for the environment we live in. There is no "spare" parts in our body. Even appendix has its function.

Male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%

I like those odds. Almost better than getting raped in US govt buildings.

A Jewish orthodox fairy tale for clueless morons. Every person who knows even basics of physiology knows how exactly HIV enters the human's blood system. Damages of mucosa of penis or vagina, damages of urinary canal, menstruation, hemospermia etc. These are the real reasons of HIV transmission and none of them has any relation to foreskin.

Thanks but I'll take the World Health Organization opinion over yours.

Well summed up :thumbsup

Fake statistics are being used by the religions to backup their madness

You can't communicate with God if you don't remove part of your dick.

Don't fuck HIV infected whores. And if you do anyway, you have worse problems to worry about than dick circumcision.

The "World Health Organization" ruled by whom?... :1orglaugh

Man, the only excuse for your mumbling about profit of circumcision for health is that "foreskin may lock microbes inside after a sexual act", but let's get real... You are not some Arab nomad and not Moses in the sands. You are a modern man and I believe that even in your trailer you have a hot water and a piece of soap. Haven't your schoolteacher of anatomy told you that you must wash your penis with a soap after every (yes, I say EVERY) sexual contact? This is obvious, isn't it? Course if you are a dirty camel who say: "I don't need to clean my cock because I'm circumcised" - that's your choice. You may even don't wipe your ass and don't wash your hands after a toilet. Good luck on that :thumbsup

So the first thing you do after sex is always pop up, run to the bathroom and wash your dick? I bet :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yes, I always go to a bathroom (bathrooms and toilets are usually different rooms in typical Russian apartments) and I wash my penis after sex. Every time. I've got learned to do that in the school (all 8th graders had a course of anatomy in the Soviet Union).

It's an acquired reflex just as washing hands before eating, brushing teeth and taking a shower before and after sleep etc. We call it a hygiene.

So you've never just rolled over and passed out ? Be real man

Smegma

5 years filming in Australia and ONLY uncut dicks have stinky smegma (dick cheese).

I've seen a few deformed dicks because the forskin was too tight, so sad, and it's impossible for those guys to effectively clean under the hood, so sad.

When models with smegma clean it off it makes the head of their cock all red and blotchy, disapointing. You can have the hottest most perfect model and the shoot fucked up by a blotchy red cockhead, but at least it's clean of smegma.

Cut cocks never have smegma or tight forskin issues.

I'll work with any cock don't get me wrong, and a little smegma never hurt anybody, just answering why people choose circumcision like I did for my son.

Fuck me, I'm actually agreeing with this cunt's post for once!

That is almost as good as Paul's "ask a woman would she rather suck dirty snipped or unsnipped dicks" LOL oh how desperate LOL

OK I'll go easy on you and admit that if you are a filthy animal who fucks disease ridden whores then YES it's a good thing your parents cut your dick because a study you found in desperation said so...

Sorry about your dick tho...All tiny and snipped...Do you have a direct line of sight to your penis or is your belly in the way and you will never see it directly again?

You clearly don't have a big uncut dick. You are clearly black. Uncircumcised black dicks, of any size, don't have the hood hangover that white dicks do. You just outed yourself black boy!

Actually, I'm sure you never have. You're big wet blanket on life.

He's always claiming he's lily white. I was always wonder why he hates his race so much but now it makes sense.

dude theres this anti smegma thing called hygiene...conditions or practices conducive to maintaining health and preventing disease, especially through cleanliness...cleanliness is the state or quality of being clean or being kept clean...clean means free from dirt, marks, or stains :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:
