CDC Considers Promoting 'Universal Circumcision' For All Males Born in US

[SilentRunning]

The administration just wants to collect the foreskin to use for stem cell research. :evil:

Be prepared for them to start an "A Fin for a Foreskin" program.

How in the fucking world does circumcision prevent the spread of STDs and other diseases?

I dunno, but if it does it certainly warrants consideration.

Warm moist environment that can keep germs alive and some people don't wash under the foreskin well enough.

Microbes and virii flourish in smegma.

Yes, because washing under your foreskin totally makes you safe from HIV and AIDS.

You, sir, are an amazing biological expert. Do you, by chance, have a newsletter to which I may subscribe?

The key word is spread, and STD's does not equal HIV and AIDS.

Promoting, not requiring.

AIDS microbes don't just appear in uncircumsized peckers. How about the horse pulls the cart and they worry about letting those kids know not to fuck infected coochy, and shoot dope with shared needles, or get blood transfusions in third world countries?

It reduces the probability of contracting an STD, it does not prevent it.

Mea Culpa.
I misread Nik's post; circumcision reduces the probability of spread, it does not prevent it.

Why do things half-assed? I bet castration is an even more effective prevention against the spread of H.I.V. :Q

When my son was born in 2002 neither myself nor my wife was even asked if we wanted our son circumsized. It was just done with a little plastic clip. The foreskin fell off a few days later. Not sure why everyone is making such a big deal about this being "promoted". Personally I know of no one who is not circumsized, maybe this is common with the nortwest.

As far as a babies consent goes this is a parental decision. We should halt all health care until the child reaches the age of majority? That's silly.

Not all heathcare, but calling circumcision "heathcare" is dubious at best. If preventing the spread of STDs is the goal, why stop at the foreskin?

Also, for those pushing this as a parental decision; would you argue the same for female circumcision?

If you wanted your hair cut, you could cut off your head and you would never have to do it again.

Male circumcision is no big deal from a surgical perspective. If you think female circumcision is equivalent then you don't know anatomy.

Some people act as if they are putting someone's eyes out. Silly rabbits.

We can also prevent teen pregnancy by chopping off every female's clitoris. That will reduce desire for sex.

I take it that you cut your head off before posting.

Martin was in Children's Hospital awaiting an operation. He was sharing a room with another boy who was also waiting for an operation. The boy turned to Martin and said, "What operation are you having?"
Martin responded, "I'm here to have my tonsils removed."
"That's a great operation. I had mine out a year ago. They let you play computer games. They give you all the ginger ale and ice cream you want. They treat you like a King."
Martin looked at his companion and asked, "What operation are you having?" The boy looked at Martin and said, "I'm here for a circumcision."
Martin paused for a moment and then said, "Gosh, that's too bad. That's a terrible operation. I was circumcised the first week I was born and I didn't walk for a year!"
