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.
Maybe we should stop routine elective cosmetic penis surgery on infants?
Stop with the “cosmetic surgery” and call it what it is…genital mutilation!
It’s both. Parents want their babies to have designer penises, so they pay doctors to mutilate them for aesthetic reasons. It is mutilation, and it is cosmetic surgery.
Then they should have got that Chinese doctor to crispr some horse genes in there.
It’s not elective. They baby can’t elect to having part of their genitals cut off.
It’s elective because there’s no medical reason to do it. Babies don’t get to choose anything for themselves. An adult can elect to have a circumcision, and parents can elect to have their babies circumcised. It would be a better world if the latter weren’t true, but that ain’t the kind of world we got.
