One-half to one-third of the skin on their penile shaft is sliced
off.

Does anybody besides me find it VERY DISTURBING to see that Todd is
utterly obsessed with baby penises? There's something just plain wrong
with a man who thinks of nothing but infant [censored].

HAVING A BABY?

Reportedly, the least painful circumcision uses the MOGEN device with
Dorsal Penile Nerve Block anesthesia injections...

See below...

Most MDs are ripping and slicing baby penises WITHOUT anesthesia.

A 1998 study (Stang & Snellman) found that only 45% of doctors surveyed used
anaesthesia. Within different specialisms, though, this figure varied, with
71% of pediatricians using anaesthesia, while only 25% of obstetricians
did. It doesn't report what proportion of circumcisions are done using
anaesthesia - only the proportions of practitioners.

Since then, the AAP has, after reviewing the evidence, said explicitly that
anaesthesia must be used.

There is no coersion and therefore no requirement to use anesthesia to
circumcise a child.

Hopefully, the numbers not using anaesthesia will
have decreased and will continue to do so.

It's like the police requesting that everyone please stop all this
killing and stealing and, boy oh boy, I hope the robberies will
decrease.

Retraining a healthy person to a table and forcing him to suffer the
full pain genital surgery should be treated as an assault, all the
more so when that person is a child and the assailant is an MD sworn
to the Hippocratic Oath.

So you're in agreement with the AAP and myself on the anaesthesia issue,
then?
