No. It's not done because it's invasive surgery. Like, are you for real?
Ask anyone who had their appendix rupture if they wish it could have been removed while they were barely aware of the world and had nothing else going on in their life.
Weird that they don’t remove appendixes after birth tbh. /s
It's a major surgery. But I've worked with a guy who had his removed preemptively after watching his brother's rupture. It's rare, though, because again, it's major surgery to remove that ticking time bomb.
There is strong evidence that it causes long term trauma. Just because you can’t remember something doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an effect on you. They literally strap you down, rip open the skin, and chop it off without any kind of pain management.
It is absolutely insane. Go watch the procedure on YouTube or something to understand what actually happens. Then take into consideration you’re likely seeing a “best case” outcome.
No. Everything you said is wrong or unproven. Just stop making shit up or floating around these bizarre internet cults.
Here is an article summarizing a number of sources, and providing the sources summarized: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/moral-landscapes/201501/circumcision-s-psychological-damage
Lotta bad science in there.
The reasons go on and on for what could make a person blame something they perceive as outside themselves for the bad in their lives. Ex: "My dick doesn't work not because of work stress and substance abuse! It must be because I was circumcised!"
After the 4th bit of bad science in a row, I stopped reading their article because it was only going down hill from there as more conclusions got based on the initial studies. The author also called into question the validity of the study done in Africa, but this is rebutted by the CDC last year in their open letter regarding criticism of their stance.
Lmao the study done in Africa was terrible. The CDC themselves say they focus on it because it provides the best results for circumcision.
They also don’t actually respond to the two main points I take issue with, summarized nicely here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3255200/
