The modern circumcision procedure involves restraining the baby, tearing the foreskin, and amputating it using a clamp. Keeping the foreskin intact has numerous benefits, including enhanced sexual pleasure, protection of the penis, and reduced risk of STD transmission. Circumcision is a multi-billion dollar industry, with profits generated from performing the procedure, correcting complications, and selling foreskin tissue. Delaying circumcision and allowing individuals to make their own decision when they are older is a preferable option that respects bodily autonomy and informed consent. Medical organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, have promoted circumcision for financial and cultural reasons, despite evidence of its harm and lack of medical necessity. Legal action can be taken against medical organizations for issuing fraudulent medical advice and performing medically unnecessary surgeries on children. Societal healing and awareness are necessary to address the trauma caused by circumcision and to protect children's rights. The rates of circumcision in the US have been declining, but there are regional and cultural variations. Bipartisan support is crucial in advocating for the protection of children's rights and ending the practice of circumcision.   Summary: The conversation explores the topic of circumcision, discussing its historical origins, the modern procedure, and the benefits of keeping the foreskin intact.
