"The damage done by circumcision to infants and consequently to the later adults is an extremely important issue. It is still widely minimized because the effects are ignored by most people. … In all my books, I tried to explain that the earlier in life a harm is done, and the more its effects are denied by parents and society, the more a person will be damaged, not only physically but also psychically. If parents know of the child's suffering, they can help as enlightened witnesses by giving support and compassion. If they deny the reality of suffering, the children will deny it as well and later inflict the same pain on their own children ... out of pure ignorance." | "The damage done by circumcision to infants and consequently to the later adults is an extremely important issue.
