GROWING CONSENSUS AGAINST CIRCUMCISION.

The growing consensus against circumcision.

 

 

National Post, Jackie Smith, Friday, August 30, 2002.

 

Just 30 years ago, male circumcision was all the rage; as many as

 

90% of boys in the United States,

 

70% of boys in Australia,

 

48% of boys in Canada, and

 

24% of boys in the United Kingdom...

 

were circumcised (often without any anesthesia).

A HUMAN RIGHTS PRIMER.

MALE CIRCUMCISION IN THE U.S.A:  HUMAN RIGHTS PRIMER.

 

 

... Fleiss PM. MD, MPH. Circumcision. Lancet 1995;345:927

 

 

”Despite the obviously irrational cruelty of circumcision,

the profit incentive in American medical practice is unlikely

to allow science or human rights principles to interrupt
the highly lucrative American circumcision industry.

 

It is now time for European medical associations loudly

to condemn the North American medical community for

participating in and profiting from what is by any standard

a senseless and barbaric sexual mutilation of innocent children.”

TRUTH QUOTATION.

"All Truth passes through Three Stages:

First, it is Ridiculed...

Second, it is Violently Opposed...

Third, it is Accepted as being Self-Evident."

- Arthur Schopenhauer (1778-1860)

• The vilification and loathing of the foreskin propaganda begins
  in the U.S.A. ...[after the Second World War]

• ...Second, it is Violently Opposed...
• Even though 85% of males in the world are natural [intact], we
  were all made to feel dirty and disgusting by the pro-circumcision
  lobby in the U.S.. ['We are the 'silent majority' ]

• ...Third, it is Accepted as being Self-Evident...
• Finally, with so much experimental work being done in medical
  laboratories looking closely at the male foreskin and 'male genitalia'
  (an overall view of the male reproductive apparatus)...
  the truth has finally arrived...and the verdict...
  Don't interfere with Nature.
