A family says their newborn son nearly bled to death and is fighting for his life after he was circumcised at a New York City hospital.
Tim and Gabrielle Groth said their son, Cole, underwent the circumcision at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in Manhattan, where he was born on March 31.
Until about a year ago or something I didn’t even know that it’s such a common practice in the USA. For me it always was just a religios thing of Jews and for some rare medical cases where the foreskin opening is too tight.
But now I know that it’s apparently considerd normal? dafuq
Be assured it’s defenetly not in germany unless you are jewish.
Doing it as religious tradition isn’t a justification as well, its still fuckin weird to mutilate a kids genitals without their consent
Yeah, it’s said to have some kind of nebulous health benefits here.
It really goes back to the turn of the 20th century, when all kinds of health gurus claimed it would curb masturbation (which they blamed for a variety of ills), but nobody says that anymore.
…or Muslim. But yes, the US has this horrible practice of mutilating all kids. Just like some third-world countries.
Nah, just the male children.
Fortunately it’s been in decline since the late 70s, but it still shouldn’t be done
