Circumcision Of Babies Is Murder

Circumcision of Babies is capital corporal crime!-a The doctors, nurses,
and hospitals doing this are guilty murderers!-a The government is a
guilty murderer to let this to go on!

I disagree.
It certainly is not murder.
It is a long term health advantage.

Circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin, offers several
long-term health benefits, including a reduced risk of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and a lower chance of
developing penile cancer. It also decreases the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infancy and helps prevent some penile conditions
like phimosis.
Reduced Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs):
HIV:
.
Circumcision has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in men, particularly in regions with high HIV prevalence.
Other STIs:
.
Studies indicate that circumcision can also lower the risk of other
STIs, including genital herpes and some ulcerative STIs.
HPV:
.
Circumcision can also provide some protection against certain types of
human papillomavirus (HPV).
Reduced Risk of Penile Cancer:
Penile cancer:
.
Circumcision is associated with a lower risk of developing penile
cancer, a rare but serious condition.
Phimosis and Balanitis:
.
The procedure can prevent phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin)
and balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin), which are
risk factors for penile cancer.
Reduced Risk of Urinary Tract Infections:
UTIs: Circumcision is linked to a slightly lower risk of UTIs,
particularly during infancy.
Other Potential Benefits:
Improved hygiene:
.
Circumcision can simplify genital hygiene and reduce the risk of smegma buildup and associated infections.
Reduced risk of cervical cancer in female partners:
.
Some studies suggest a possible link between male circumcision and a
reduced risk of cervical cancer in female partners.
Important Considerations:
Individual decision:
The decision to circumcise should be made by parents in consultation
with healthcare professionals, considering individual and cultural factors. Potential risks:
While generally safe, circumcision does carry some risks, including
bleeding, infection, and pain.
Long-term effects:
While the benefits of circumcision are well-documented, the impact on
sexual function and satisfaction is still under research.
