Why isn't it illegal to circumcise babies?


Additional Details
it's a mutilation without consent, so isn't it a violation of human rights?

I have no clue. As the ding bats who think it's okay. Personaly I think it's cruel and horrible to put your child through that.

As a parent I would do my job and protect my child, not put them through unbarable pain.

Because it's become an important religious/cultural tradition and people are scared to ban it because they don't like annoying religious people and be seen to be racist. I do think it's unfair and it should be illegal.

because there are circumcised guys making laws in each country and they are in denial

Because people have carried religion too far. It's like a ritual.

Because the law says it isn't illegal regardless of what YOU think. If it is mutilation without consent as you proclaim, then it shouldn't be difficult for you to plead your case to the government and have it banned in the near future.

Let me know how that works out for you.

Parents have the legal right to consent to the procedure on behalf of their infant, so that is not an issue.

Because it's none of your business. Would you make it illegal for mothers to have their babies ears pierced too after all that's mutilation.

The parents have every right to choose what they want for their child.

I'm circumcized and glad, because I wouldn't want to have to deal with... all that mess... It's probably better that way, as a baby you won't remember ANYTHING.
