    Fingernails cause problems too. Let’s rip those off at birth.

    • No more hangnails
    • No more cleaning dirt from under them
    • No more ingrown nails

    Let’s also take off the auricle, the outer part of the ear. If people aren’t taught how to properly clean behind it, it can get dirty.

    • Don’t have to wash behind it anymore
    • No more risk of cauliflower ear

      Read back, like I said several times I don’t support circumcision. However, there are benefits that don’t just disappear because of the cons. Everything has pros and cons that should be accounted for.

      And the fact of bringing unrelated debate into it just makes it look unorganized and unfounded basis. But you can message me if you want to debate about finger nails and removing parts of the ear…

        I think we’re all on the same side here but I think that person’s analogy is valuable because it demonstrates the disconnect in logic between the perceived value of the “health risks” that are being avoided versus the risks, harm, and morals of permanently modifying someone’s body against their will under false pretenses.
