The truth about circumcision-Stefan Molyneux

And a warning, some viewers may find this video distressing, it contains actual audio and video of circumcisions being performed plus graphic descriptions of the procedure.
The truth: If there was a theoretical basis for surgical procedures to be be performed upon women and female infants which could minimise harm to men the "debate" would not have even reached this point.

My elder brothers grew up in an era when it was considered normal for one's tonsils to be removed before they gave any trouble, as a 'precautionary measure'. But at least the medical profession didn't have God-botherers insisting that tonsil removal was divinely ordained. There is some good news in this area, too -- some educated Jewish couples are now refusing to have their male babies circumcised. Whatever the dubious 'benefits' of the procedure may be, it's clear that the consent of the adult male concerned should be required for it to go ahead.

That special circumstances in Africa would benefit from seeing a rise in male circumcisions does not detract from Australians requiring evidence-based practise of medicine before promoting it here.

Certainly, on the available research, it is gynecological testing which needs to be widespread.

I've got a cure for HIV AIDS in Africa, it's an old remedy called Islam.
Go to the WHO or UNAIDS websites and compare the AIDS prevalence rates and distribution in Islamic areas of Africa to the Christian areas, anything stand out?
Sure all male Muslims are circumcised but that can't be the only factor at play, the above named sites list lifestyle factors such as promiscuity and polygyny as the main routes of transmission.

Jon J,
In high school a friend of mine had to be circumcised at age 16 for medical reasons which I now can't recall, what I do remember is that he had a long recovery and a lot of problems afterwards, especially "performance" issues with his girlfriends when he was a young man.

If you really want to pay attention to the evidence, then the US medical ass indicates that the health / risk balance weighs slightly in favour of having a circumcision.

However, this does not constitute a recommendation to do so, neither a recommendation that it become taxpayer funded.
