@ At all you numbskulls saying circumcision is unethical have a look at at the facts. According to the WHO it reduces your chances of contracting HIV by about half and has been hailed by experts everywhere.

Get over your knee jerk reaction to something different than your forsaken culture. BTW Muslims don’t consume the foreskin, they just cut it.

BTW Ever cut your nailes? Isn’t that mutilation? Last time I checked there was anesthesia available too.

@Marilyn

The “right to individual religious freedom” is why this was acceptable in the first place. You realize this, correct? And in all honesty, considering most men want to have sex at some point in their life, I’ve found that most men feel self-conscious about being UN-altered, not angry that they are.

@Gloria

It’s not just customs of Jewish and Muslim faiths that have “gone the way of the dodo bird”. I assume from your attack of Judaism and Muslim religions that you adhere to some form of Christianity. You know, the lot who used to stone people to death, sacrifice animals, burn people alive, and crucify folks who happened to disagree with them. All of the world religions have seen change or annihilation since they were first created, it’s not just the ones that you disagree with.

In a nutshell, no baby foreskin was eaten in the making of this article.

Only by denying the existence of excruciating pain, perinatal encoding of the brain with violence, interruption of maternal/infant bonding, betrayal of infant trust, the risks and effects of permanently altering normal genitalia, the right of human beings to sexually intact and functional bodies, and the right to individual religious freedoms, can human beings continue to amputate genital parts of infants and children.

The grotesqueness of eating a purloined foreskin of a non-consenting baby in a soup and claiming it’s “kinda like chicken, but more tender,” defies reason.

A Governor General has an obligation to set an example and cannibalism is not a good example! Nor is tolerating the non-therapeutic amputation of a normal foreskin from a non-consenting baby. It’s his body and his right to keep it!

Genital cutting is neither ethical nor sacred. Circumcision is an anachronistic blood ritual that has no place in civilized society.

I can’t believe that this is even possible in Canada. I’m a big fan of Gov-Gen Jean and was just looking for some material to do a story about her. I’m in shock. As a country, we need to stop the mutilation of children’s genitals so that we never have to hear something like this again. There are many Jewish and Muslim rituals that have gone the way of the dodo bird because they were crazy.

Those of us who work in women’s and children’s health know that there can be no excuse for amputating healthy tissue from an unconsenting minor. Baby girls are protected by law, we need to protect baby boys, too. I’m sure the Gov-Gen would never participate in a religious ceremony that involved eating tissue that was cut from a baby girl.
