==Conclusion== | |||
Circumcision of male children is a mutilation of genital tissue that permanently destroys the [[foreskin]] (prepuce) of a male child. It also irreversibly destroys the [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions_of_the_foreskin| protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual functions]] of the foreskin, leaving the male patient at increased risk of disease.<ref name="fendereski2024">{{REFjournal | |||

}}</reF> It is mutilating and causes permanent disfigurement of the [[penis]]. Circumcision of male children clearly meets all tests for aggravated battery. It cannot be legalized or excused by patient consent because no one has the legal capacity to grant consent for the aggravated battery of non-therapeutic child circumcision.<ref name="hill2003">{{REFjournal | |||
