- stavros 3mo agoYeah I'm not sure you should do surgeries without anaesthesia on newborns either way.
- canjobear 3mo agoIt was standard procedure to do invasive surgeries on newborns without anesthesia until the 1980s, on the theory that they can’t feel pain. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/long-life-early-pain https://hms.harvard.edu/news/long-life-early-pain

- throe9393i44i 3mo agoGet a body piercing anywhere you want, nobody is banning that for adults! Problem is consent (I am big fan of that btw!)
- xerox13ster 3mo agoNobody consented to this conversation about very early memories being made about male genital mutilation. An MRA failing to understand consent when they have an opportunity to make something about MGM in spite of being a “big fan”? what a shocker.
- DANmode 3mo ago> and like yeah “boo-hoo they cut our dicks” You don’t have a complete picture or empathy for how trauma works. Ban this person from your fiefdom if they’re OT - but also look in the mirror.
- cityofdelusion 3mo agoI'm not sure if the person you replied to edited their comment, but right now, yours looks totally out-of-line and ranting about nothing they brought up.
- xerox13ster 3mo agoThey didn’t edit it. This part is what I’m referencing and read as an obvious reference to circumcision: > If kids remember, we could not do surgeries without anastesia on new borns, and could not marinate open wound in filthy diapers! What other surgery is commonly performed sans anesthesia on newborns and also generates as they so eloquently put it -a wound that marinates in filthy diapers-?

- margalabargala 3mo agoSurgery on infants without anasthesia is not something done any longer in any country that particularly cares about the health of its citizens.
- IAmBroom 3mo agoCircumcision sans anesthesia is commonplace.
- margalabargala 3mo agoWhere? Not in the US it isn't.
