Dr Spock renounces circumcision based on false data he was provided with early in his career. Michael Badnarik's Constitution Class: www.usaupload.net/d/ctdsk8oyc3n
Actually, lawmakers already made laws against mutilation already. It is the "law enforcers and prosecutors" who are at fault! Who can blame the doctors when no one will prosecute them for it?
I tried to watch the video but my computer wouldn't let me. Maybe you can post it on youtube. In Canada the Criminal Code forbids any form of female genital mutilation aka female circumcision. This means everything starting with a simple pinprick. It's even illegal to take the girl out of the country to have it done. Adults are protected from any assault. Canadian infant boys are second class citizens who do not have any protection. Laws can be put in place to stop male infant circumcision.
@amoralis123 Bacterial infection? Nonsense! And how prone to "bacterian infection" are intact female parts? More or less than male? Maybe we shoudl be cutting those first? Nobody's comparing it with infibulation, but it is very comparable to the minor FGC practised by doctors in Malaysia and Indonesia. This is not about physiology but human rights.
Dr. Spock, what about the substantial reduction of sexual pleasure? Isn't that, at least, one reason why circumcision should be considered a crime? You are a doctor. Couldn't you understand, 60 years ago, that a circumcised boy would have a hard time masturbationg compare to an uncircumcised boy? Wouldn't just this make you an advocate of anti-circumcision back in the 30's? I am in shock by your explainations !!!
His insistence on approving circumcision in the past based on the cervical cancer studies is deplorable. Would he have approved circumcising girls for some benefit men might get? I doubt it. This man shows no remorse for his complicity in the whole affair. Tens of millions of men were mutilated because of his advice to parents. And, I personally know there is a "residue of pain", enough to give you a heart attack if you "find it".
Doctor Spock is right when he says "leave his poor little penis alone." This is the best advice a doctor can give a parent. I wish he gave this advice when his books were the child-rearing bible. It stands to reason that babies have residue left over from the pain. Circumcision is horrible. What goes on in his poor little head? The lawmakers would never allow this to happen to an adult. Can you imagine the uproar? Still they stand by while it happens to society's most vulnerable. That's wrong
Dr. Spock opposed circumcision.
There is no difference between Dr. Spock and Dr. Mendele., except that doctor Spock redeemed himself one year before his death.
I have just watched the video and to me he seems to be AGAINST circumcision
Fascinating

@DetestableCrabmeat , you may think a man who is uncut would know the truth about circumcision and not impose it on others.

So, for all those decades, Dr Know-it-all didn't know it all, at all! :/
@amoralis123
The AAP and other organizations have flat-out said there's little to no correlation between circumcision and optimum penile hygiene.

Live long and proper.
Circumcision is barbaric, brutal and cruel. Keep your sons intact. Thanks to all who speak against circumcision
The prophet Abraham circumsized himself at an old age.
Be quiet.
Prophet Abraham was circumsized at an old age. Be quiet.
@@asmatara9281 who gives a shit he not some prophet and nobody knows if there is a god
I got circumcised at 13 just bc I had problems pulling foreskin and it’s just easier being cut
@lochinvar00465
I TOTALLY agree with you. I invite you to read my recent posts on this video.
@just2w4tch Dr Spock died in 1998.

Just wondering... was Dr. Spock himself circumcised?
