Unethical acts with underlying religious and cultural rationalizations remain unethical. Unnecessary amputations are always damaging physical losses, with circumcisions additionally inflicting sexual losses. Unnecessary amputations are an embarrassing failure of medical therapeutics to maintain optimal health and physical integrity. The BMA medical ethicists refusing to comment on non-therapeutic circumcisions, in fact, condone them. Where myths exist, deliberate silence is a deception by intentional acts of omission.
Silence deceives people about the highly erogenous sexual functions of the foreskin.
Families whose members lack a foreskin cannot know its sexual benefits. In ignorance families make choices sexually damaging to themselves or their children. Physical damage and loss is a medical issue mandating medical prevention. As we enter the new millenium, speak up, educate honestly, and treat sexual parts of the body with respect. Maintain the genital and sexual integrity of our children.
