Discussing Circumcision - Dr. Christopher Guest
Award for intactivism
Guest was chosen "Intactivist of the Month" by Intact America in July 2013.
| “ | In this age of modern medicine, with all of our technology and knowledge and progress, how is it possible for physicians to promote such a primitive and cruel practice as circumcision? It is difficult to imagine anything more disturbing than the ritualistic mutilation of infant genitalia. The medicalisation of this ritual is simply a disgrace to our profession. Forced infant circumcision is medically unethical, it is irrational, it is unscientific and it constitutes a gross violation of human rights. – Christopher L. Guest (Interview with Intact America)[1] |
