Do you support Circumcision (Khatna) ? Why ?

Question

Have you done it with you ?
Will you try it on your children ?

Circumcision (Khatna) is recommended
and necessary to
Christians, Muslims & Jews.

Answer 1

I strongly oppose Circumcision (Khatna).
Circumcision is the custom related to the Middle-Age era.
It has no relevance to modern World.

If the upper skin of the penis is recommended to be
removed, why don't these people remove their Eye-Flaps ?
Nails shall also be removed.

God has made us in perfect manner. Nothing is extra.

Answer 2

Not at all. I really don't know how any mother could allow someone to perform surgery on her son's penis without sedating the child. Circumcision is completely unnecessary and actually destroys some helpful glands. All they have to do is clean the area better if it's not circumcised and well, boys do that anyway. The person can decide when he is grown to have the procedure done, any type of body modification that is without medical need should be left up for the person to decide when they are mature.

Answer 3

Christians are not required to be circumcised. That requirement was not given by Christ to The Church. The cerimonial and other mosaic laws were made moot by Christ.

To day circumcision is a good idea for health reasons...Men very much tend not to be clean in that area. While is may not reach a point of being life threatening to the man, many bacterial infections can be pased to the woman by contact with a not so clean foreskin.

Answer 4

No, for the same reasons I do not support female circumcision ... it is the forced mutilation of a child without justification. Cleanliness may have been issues long ago, but they are not in modern society. The process is a completely unnecessary prodecure and, in rare cases, has resulted in severe destruction / deformation of the penis.

I was circumcised. I would not have my child circumcised.

Abolish child mutilation!

Non-religious circumcision in English-speaking countries arose in a climate of sexual fear, especially concerning masturbation. In her 1978 article The Ritual of Circumcision,[20] Karen Erickson Paige writes: "In the United States, the current medical rationale for circumcision developed after the operation was in wide practice. The original reason for the surgical removal of the foreskin, or prepuce, was to control 'masturbatory insanity' - the range of mental disorders that people believed were caused by the 'polluting' practice of 'self-abuse.'" (Wikipedia : History of Male Circumcision : Male Circumcision to Prevent Masturbation)

At the same time circumcisions were advocated on men, clitoridectomies (removal of the clitoris) were also performed for the same reason (to treat female masturbators). The US "Orificial Surgery Society" for female "circumcision" operated until 1925, and clitoridectomies and infibulations would continue to be advocated by some through the 1930s.

Answer 5

The Bible is speaking of spiritual circumcision, not physical. Physical circumcision is cleaner. I would probably get my children circumcised if I had some.

Answer 6

I say it's up to the parents. I wouldn't for my kids. And it's not necessary for Christians.

Answer 7

Yes, and I was when I was a newborn, because the Bible/Torah says to.

Answer 8

no. no i would not do it on any one. Its only a religious tradition, not doctors orders
