Barbaric practice
17 December 2018 | by pietclausenSee all my reviews

I have always considered circumcision of males and females to be a barbaric practice and this documentary confirms this stance.

What adults want to do with their bodies is their decision. For example, I do not like tattoos, which I consider to be mutilation, but I am not against it. That is your decision.

Leave babies' bodies alone, other than for real medical problems. When the kids grow up let them then decide what they want. It's as simple as that and conforms with human rights and common sense.

Unfortunately too many places in the world still have past customs which will not easily change. Laws are not always correct. On remote Pacific islands cannibalism is apparently still practiced too. What a terrible thought.
