CDC: Circumcision Benefits Outweigh Risks


U.S. health officials on Tuesday released a draft of long-awaited federal guidelines on circumcision, saying medical evidence supports having the procedure done and health insurers should pay for it.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines stop short of telling parent to get their newborn sons circumcised. That is a personal decision that may involve religious or cultural preferences, said the CDC's Dr. Jonathan Mermin.

But "the scientific evidence is clear that the benefits outweigh the risks," added Mermin, who oversees the agency's programs on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

These are the first federal guidelines on circumcision, a brief medical procedure that involves cutting away the foreskin around the tip of the penis. Germs can grow underneath the foreskin, and CDC officials say the procedure can lower a male's risk of sexually-transmitted diseases, penile cancer and even urinary tract infections.

The CDC started working on the guidelines about seven years ago, when a cluster of influential studies in Africa indicated circumcision might help stop spread of the AIDS virus.

1. **** that...

It's a genital mutilation practice from the tribal desert days that has survived to the modern era for some reason.

It's wrong to snip a little skin fro a baby boy's dick, but it's fine to kill that same little boy when the baby inconveniences the mother.

It'd be a bit more persuasive if it was a study from a group other than a generation of doctors who were 99% circumcised as newborns themselves as SOP, and disproportionately Jewish or Muslim themselves to boot, and the benefits seem to be rest entirely on the effects on STD transmission.  There are plenty of medical malpractice cases on messed-up circumcisions, but almost all STDs are treatable without wrecking the Instrument of Doom.  The risks aren't actually balanced, they are all at the front end (So to speak) on the pro side, and all far down the road and dependent on lifestyle on the con side.

That said, I don't have a problem with making insurers pay for it for those who want to risk the male heir having wrecked pecker for life.

Just remembered reading a circumcision horror story from just the other day. Seems they screwed one up on a baby boy so bad they gave him a sex change operation because some shrink thought all gender/sex was determined by how the child was raised. At age 9 or 10 after spending his formative years as a girl, they discovered the kid was hard wired as a male and he refused to continue as a girl. He wound up committing suicide at about age 30. 

I'm off to see if I can find it again.

Found a video about him....

Many of the DUmmies equate circumcision with the female genital mutilation that Muslim inflict on young girls and that is just beyond stupid.

How many millions of dollars di the US waste teaching African men how to wash their dicks because they're uncircumcised? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just chop all their peckers off? :rofl:

She's nowhere to be found, after claiming to have inspected over ten thousand dicks in her little Texas single-wide.

53. I would like to see studies that compare circumcision to improved hygiene
or other practices that decrease disease incidence.

Surely there is something less drastic than circumcision that could be done for STD prevention.

Ms. Bayer spent the summer amongst nasty mexican and Italian dicks, so her knowledge base expanded rapidly.

This would be a great thread for DUmmy redqueen and Jugs to reappear.

Nah.  Muslims are the other big religion that demands it, so that's out.  Got to be something else.

I was cut as an infant, because every boy was, without even asking the parents, if they were born in a hospital when I was a kid as a matter of course (Though I'm sure my late parents would've been totally on board with it anyway), unless the parents made a specific demand in advance against it and couldn't be talked around by the docs. 

I chose not to take the risk of the doc having an "Oopsie" on any of my own boys, they can take their chances on STDs but none of them turned out to live high-risk lifestyles, so I'm comfortable with the choice I made.

If Muhammad was not cut then I do not buy that Islam is huge on circumcision, because "What he did /was/would do is everything in Islam.
