Just admit it one more time for yourself to realise that circumcision is a bunch of bs. Just say that and you won't have your child butchered. Why do you want to butcher your childs penis for? Let him do whatever he wants and don't make a bunch of 'medical/hygine' reasons. The truth is that a bunch of stupid girls think ewww and uncut penis. Thats why. |
Sorry, but I am not going to change my position. I have found a host of possible health benefits that come with circumcision. The only medical negative I have heard is that is somehow decreases sexual sensation, which I have already discussed and do not agree with.
On one hand I have a whole host of possible medical benefits, on the other hand I have the loss of sensation and "butchering" arguement. I do not consider it "butchering," and in all honesty I see the foreskin to be on par with the other vestigial structures I listed above.
Again, if you don't want your son circumcised, knock yourself out. I was asked my opinion, and I gave it along with the reasoning behind it. Contrary to your statement, I'd also add that there is no agreement or concensus among world health figures when it comes to circumcision. Using previous logic, if that were the case, there wouldn't be circumcisions, would there? What doctor would perform one against the recommendations of the entire world medical community? |

Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:59pm ET135
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Circumcising men cuts their risk of being infected with the AIDS virus in half, and could prevent hundreds of thousands or even millions of new infections, researchers said on Wednesday.
Circumcising men worked so well that the researchers stopped two large clinical trials in Kenya and Uganda to announce the results, although they cautioned that the procedure does not make men immune to the virus.
Public health leaders hailed the results as pointing to a potentially powerful way to reduce HIV infections in Africa, the continent hardest hit by AIDS.
"It does have the potential to prevent many tens of thousands, many hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of infections over coming years," Dr. Kevin De Cock, director of the World Health Organization's Department of HIV/AIDS, told reporters.
A U.S. National Institutes of Health study in Kisumu, Kenya, involving 2,784 men aged 18 to 24 showed a 53 percent reduction of HIV infections in circumcised men compared to uncircumcised men. A parallel study involving 4,996 men aged 15 to 49 in Rakai, Uganda, showed circumcised men were 48 percent less likely than uncircumcised men to become infected.
Researchers previously had noticed that in places where circumcision is common, HIV was less common.
Results of the first major study on the issue were reported last year out of South Africa, with researchers seeing a 60 percent reduction in HIV risk for circumcised men. Researchers viewed the new trials as strong confirmation.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the institute ended both trials early and offered circumcision to all men involved in them. The trials began in 2005 and were due to go until mid-2007.
HIV PREVENTION
"These results indicate that adult male circumcision could be an important addition to an HIV prevention strategy for men. Male circumcision can lower both an individual's risk of infection and hopefully the rate of HIV spread through the community," Fauci said.
Experts say the prevalence of male circumcision varies by region in African countries south of the Sahara, with large numbers of men in some areas remaining uncircumcised.
Fauci said while the initial circumcision benefits would be fewer HIV infections in men, the practice could lead to fewer women getting infected in parts of the world like Africa where the virus is passed largely through sex between a man and woman, not homosexual sex.
Another study is underway in Uganda assessing HIV infection risk for women with circumcised partners.
Experts say the reduced HIV risk may be because cells on the inside of the foreskin, the part of the penis cut off in circumcision, are particularly susceptible to HIV infection. HIV also may survive better in a warm, wet environment like that found beneath a foreskin.
Fauci said circumcision is not completely protective "and must be seen as a powerful addition to, not a replacement for, other HIV prevention methods." Fauci said the benefits could be negated by small decreases in condom use by men or if men add more sexual partners.
"These results only apply to men where the risk of HIV transmission is through the penis. Transmission by injection drug use or receptive anal intercourse will not be affected by adult male circumcision," Fauci added.
De said public health experts might encounter cultural and social barriers in parts of Africa to male circumcision.
Of the 39.5 million people worldwide infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, 24.7 million are in sub-Saharan Africa. About 25 million people have died from AIDS since it was first identified a quarter century ago.

Yeah, i was going to post that. At least in third world countries where AIDS is a serious epidemic. |

I'd suggest that the total removal of the penis would yield a greater reduction in the spread of AIDS. It might reduce overpopulation, too. |

| quote: | Body nullification against HIV
Wed Dec 09, 2006 9:00am ET135
By Gary Parkes
Scientists from the Royal Institute of Epidemic Research have found a possible link between body nullification and lower levels of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, such as HIV.
Body nullification is extreme body modification that involves the voluntary removal of body parts. Body nullification is a well documented phenomenon in modern society, aided in popularity (or at least given a higher profile) by the ability to share information via the Internet that might otherwise be kept isolated or private.
"There are no reported cases of HIV transmission through sexual intercourse among individuals that have undergone voluntary penectomy", says Dr. Charles Robert Singh, "although infection by contaminated needles is still possible".
The research, involving 250 men in Great Britain, Germany and Sweden has found that none of these individuals had STDs, and that their sex life can be considered 'healthy'. "Maybe it's time to review our prejudices against Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), and accept it as a preventive method", claimed Dr. Singh. "Personally, I'm thinking of doing that myself".
