{{Construction Site}}'''Political attitudes toward MGM''' vary from nation to nation. While [[FGM]] is outlawed in almost every country, most countries still ignore, tolerate or accept [[MGM]] on minors. This is a classical [[bias]] situation. Furthermore, every country worldwide punishes [[bodily harm]]. [[MGM]] on minors without any [[medical indication ]] is bodily harm by definition.
