wikify medical indication
Admittedly, the debate about genital self-determination really took off only at the beginning of this year. But working with the boys above all has shown what [[genital autonomy]] is all about. It's about self-determination, it's about health, and it's about all about vulnerability. We have worked on the subject in groups since January, we have worked on it with younger and more grown up people and with most of them you could see how much this subject is based on vulnerability. If you suddenly have to ask yourself: Why is this piece of [[skin]] stolen from me, withouy my consent, without my knowledge and without my will?
Self-determination of man is in this state, with this constitution, one of the most important goods. Article 1 of the Constitution says: "Human dignity is inviolable." And Article 2 says that physical integrity and life as an asset worth protecting are anchored in second place of the Constitution. And we intervene in these fundamental rights if we allow a circumciser from a religious community, to do [[circumcision]] shortly after birth or also later if a doctor does it without [[medical indication]]. And only with the consent of the parents.
It does not make sense to us that we place so much value on the physical integrity of people and at the same time we make such a compromise with the weakest in this society. And anticipate so many decisions. Decisions that concern sexuality. Decisions that concern religion. And decisions that may also affect personal lifestyle. Those affected can describe the impact of this much better than we can.
