2	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) Using your logic, murder is fine because the dead person wouldn't be alive to suffer...	/r/MensRights	24/12/12 02:32 AM
0	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) If the question of long-term and short-term consequences are taken out of the equation then what is left? Uhhh... if long term and short term consequences are taken out of the equation for anything, then you're left with literally nothing, a non-event. I'm not really sure where you were going with that part of your argument. Another is immediate suffering; can fetuses suffer? Just because someone doesn't survive an operation doesn't mean that they don't suffer. There is a stage in development wh…	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 08:24 PM
6	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) I'm not saying whether or not a fetus is a person, I'm just saying that there are interpretations of a person that would classify a fetus as one.	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 06:11 PM
2	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) Yeah, let's fucking beat our children daily before they turn one year old, they won't remember it by the time they're self-aware anyways. The real reason is that they can't refuse consent when they're seven days old. Well that's taking it a bit far. A huge reason it is done so young is because the kid won't remember it soon afterwards. Week-old children aren't really renowned for their memory.	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 05:40 PM
2	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) a fetus is not a person under any interpretation of person Now that's not true. Anyone who is pro-life argues that a fetus is still a person.	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 05:25 PM
12	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) Infants do not legally have the right to consent and that legal responsibility falls on the parent. If the law gives parents full power over the decision making process of minors, then using your own logic, the reality is that infants do not have the rights to make decisions on their own like this and does not have legal protection against circumcision. Therefore, because we're not bringing morality into the situation, there is nothing legally wrong with having infants circumcised. You cannot di…	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 03:30 PM
8	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) So this is an issue of law and not morals/ethics? There is no law against circumcision, so it should be a non issue, right?	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 02:57 PM
7	70 percent of Germans oppose new law legalizing religiously motivated circumcision (x-post from /r/worldnews) Can't this argument be equally applicable to abortion (of course in cases where it isn't a medical necessity)? It's the fetus's body, his(or her) choice, not the parent's whether or not the baby wants to live.	/r/MensRights	23/12/12 02:33 PM
