[quote:Anonymous Coward 70621278:MV8zMDk3MTI4XzU1MTc1ODc2XzZDRTA3ODIy] [quote:strgzr:MV8zMDk3MTI4XzU1MTczOTQwXzhBMDdCQjNG] Of course it shouldn’t be allowed. Neither should male circumcision. When a person comes of age and wants to mutilate themselves I suppose they have the right. But what was done to me and millions of other boys shortly after being born is nothing short of a violation of human rights. Letting that happen to young girls is barbaric and shouldn’t even be considered. [/quote] If I was a woman, I could have sued the doc who circumsizwd me. Since I'm a man, well... it's just standard operating procedure. [/quote]

'It's just a "nick" and similar to male circumcision'
FGM is only the same as 'male circumcision, breast implants and designer vagina ops': Gynecologists argue genital 'nicks' that don't harm girls should be legalized
Female genital mutilation refers to procedures that intentionally alters or causes injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons
WHO considers FGM 'a violation of girls and women's human rights'
New paper, authored by 2 gynaecologists, argues
changes to the definition and how it is viewed
would protect young girls from serious cutting
Procedures should be divided into 5 categories, with first two akin to male circumcision, having breast implants or labiaplasty
More serious categories - including clitoral removal - should remain illegal
Milder forms of female genital mutilation should be classified in the same way as male circumcision and breast implants to stop it being 'demonized,' a controversial new report has claimed.
Changes to the way female genital mutilation is defined and viewed are needed to protect young women from more serious forms of cutting, a team of experts argued.
The gynaecologists suggest a small surgical 'nick' - a minimal procedure they compare to male circumcision - that slightly changes the look of a young woman's external genitalia should be legally allowed.
In a paper published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, they say mild forms are no worse than cosmetic procedures such as breast implants or 'designer vaginas' western women pay for.
But the experts stress the procedure should not alter the function or the sensory capacity of a young woman's genitalia.
They contend this more nuanced approach would uphold cultural and religious traditions without sacrificing the health and wellbeing of girls and young women.
These are the two MD's and the paper:
