Naturalistic fallacy aside, I missed that market when I got corrective surgery for scoliosis. I’ve also got a few tattoos and piercings that any proper orthodox Jew would find abominable.

My son spent three months in the NICU and had I don’t even know how many medical interventions during that time. His “perfectly natural unmutilated body” would have been a 1.5oz corpse.

We’re both way past circumcision as the defining issue of our lives.

One is medical necessity and one is religious bullshit inflicting pain and assuming consent. Go do something productive with your life… Vote or something.

Its OK to move past the trauma, it’s not OK to assume everybody should go through that progression just because you did.

But the point is you wouldn’t tattoo your child before he is of age and without consulting him. This practice is not necessary

  I would not wait for my son to turn eighteen if he needed a medical alert tattoos to avoid an EMT accidentally killing him.
  
  Maybe you would. That’s your call as a parent.

    What the hell? Why are you suggesting I would let my child die if they needed medical treatment. You might have your own opinions about circumcision but lets keep discussion civil. I’m just saying that most circumcisions done right after birth aren’t done out of medical necessity and I would alter the body of my child because they wouldn’t be able to reverse it if they ever wanted to
