Females in some parts of the world are forced to undergo surgical removal of their sexual organs (often without anesthesia) to satisfy social/cultural customs of their society. This is analogous to taking a dull knife and scraping off the head of a man's penis. Is this something that should be legal? If we say yes, then we are saying it is OK to take a knife to someone's sexual organs against their will, and change their sexual feelings (and possibly their health). On the other hand, if we say it's not legal, we are saying that another culture (one that we may not fully understand) is "wrong" and should live by our standards. Do we have the right to do this?
