I would disagree that the foreskin performs an essential biological function, and by the dictionary definition that would not make it mutilation.

- Mithaldu 9y agoI said clear, not essential. Your pinky finger also does not perform an essential biological function, i.e. you can keep on living without it. But it performs a clear one, providing more grip strength and options. Please link to the dictionary definition you're using.

- Mithaldu 9y ago( If you're responding quickly, click the time link to get a reply field. ) From the definition: "make imperfect by removing or irreparably damaging parts" Cutting off the foreskin entirely fulfills that description.
- moshei 9y agoI suggest you look at this: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/ http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/ Using the term mutilation when it is most often used in that context is absurd.
- Mithaldu 9y agoMutilation has a clear meaning in the dictionary and its application here is perfectly fine.
