Physicians and parents alike have been misled into believing that these mutilations are beneficial, necessary, and harmless Today, flawed studies have allowed the promotion of circumcision as a way of combating HIV/AIDS in Africa, an experiment that failed in the USA, where a half-million circumcised males have succumbed to AIDS These facts notwithstanding, the public and legal outcry against these abuses is increasing For instance, the high court in Cologne, Germany ruled in 2012 that circumcision harms the child, that the harm is irreversible, that it denies the child the right to his own body, and that circumcision denies the individual the right to choose his own religion Thus, the issue of circumcision has expanded beyond the arena of medicine and is firmly established as a human rights and legal problem The contributors to this volume, an international panel of experts in the fields of medicine, law, ethics, anthropology, sociology, history, religion, and politics, thoroughly examine and elucidate this violation of human rights Analysis Medicine Ethics Pediatrics Anthropology Philosophy (General) Medicine & Public Health Pediatric Surgery sociologie sociology ethiek psychologie psychology pediatrie paediatrics geneeskunde volksgezondheid public health chirurgie surgery kinderen children antropologie Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Notes International conference proceedings Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Circumcision -- Congresses Female genital mutilation -- Congresses Circumcision -- Moral and ethical aspects -- Congresses Female genital mutilation -- Moral and ethical aspects -- Congresses Circumcision -- Law and legislation -- Congresses Female genital mutilation -- Law and legislation -- Congresses Children's rights -- Congresses Circumcision.
