German court rules religious circumcision on boys an assault

That was about time. Should have done that 2000 years ago.

2. Circumcision is a permanent change to the body.

Well, i agree with the rest of the points but circumcision isn't permanent, there are ways to restore foreskin, both surgically (like using the skin from the scrotum) and non-surgically (there's a tool to stretch the skin out). However it is expensive.

In fact here's a statement of a person changes before and after having their foreskin restored

I did some research on this subject quickly and it seems that they can stretch skin over the penis or graft similar tissue, there are parts that won't be restored. There is a band of muscle that gets removed with the foreskin (it's what keeps the foreskin nice and tight), so these techniques result is a very loose foreskin.

Better than nothing for these men. It's good that men have options, though. Thanks for the heads up.

The original equipment is best.

I'm not denying it the fact that something is lost but there's a whole difference just from the foreskin.

And there's talk about Foreskin regeneration too.

[Epimethean]

Even if there were such a thing as (a la the new Spiderman) limb regeneration, I'd rather have my original hand-and I'd rather have my original foreskin. Just because we can restore it has zero bearing on the legitimacy of the crackpots who cut it off in the first place.

[Thor]

It can be surgically restored? That's great, but hardly a reason to say that infants should be circumcised. It's like saying, "We're cutting off this body part without your consent. But you can get it back if you want. All you have to do is undergo a painful and expensive surgical procedure when you grow up!"

Queen’s Park baby bled to death two days after being circumcised

Chalk up another innocent victim for the Angry Desert God!

I think this is just a sign of the inherent racism towards the Jewish people by the Germans.

I think you're crazy. : )
