I would call it "modification" rather than mutilation. People pierce their bodies and get tattoos and all that (which serve no medical purpose). I am American so I may have been raised to believe its the normal thing, but I have known people who had to get it done at an older age because of medical problems and it is certainly NOT. It should be either done as a baby or not. Its not the same as female circumcision which is done strictly for misogynist reasons and is often performed in unsanitary conditions when the girl is 4-8 years old and traumatic.
do you think being circumcised is mutilation?
