Keep in mind that i agree with you that extreme cases of circumcision are detrimental. Stitching, cutting off the clitoris entirely, and other kinds of extreme surgeries are FGM, female genital mutiliation.

Actually most doctors say there it isn't detrimental, unless you're talking about the extreme cases which include stitching and cutting off the clitoris entirely. Ask a doctor if shortening the labia or even cutting them off, cutting the foreskin under the pubas, and shortening the clitoris, is deterimental. If he says yes ask him why, but i doubt he will say yes.

As for legality, i already showed you that some laws are ridiculous.

Well I'm not interested in refering back through the ages to romans etc, we have to be modern and most doctors say it is detrimental the the women.And fiddling with kids genetals is for the creepy and is ILLEGAL.

About allowing the person to choose; by the time the person is an adult capable of responsible decisions the procedure may be alot more painful because of the maturity of the vagina, thus deterring them. It's a parental decision in most cases and that's not a problem unless they are uneducated and mutilate their child by excessive "circumcision".

Would you say we should let children choose if they want to go to school or not, or if they should be grounded? Some things are just decided for you.
