Boy Dies from Botched Circumcision

The article was sadly inadequate. Why were they performing a circumcision on a 2 year-old? Had the parents authorized a general or only a local? What type of dr was performing the surgery?

At 2 years-old the foreskin would not yet have separated, there is no phimosis in a 2 year-old. If the parents had declined to circumcise him at birth, why at 2? Why not older when he could voice his own decision?

Coleson said the hospital was supposed to give his nephew a local analgesic, but instead administered a general.

I'm curious if this is relevant to the 'unexpected death'.

Now the family wants to know what went horribly wrong.

How about 'the parents irresponsibly subjected their infant to an unnecessary cosmetic surgery'? Here's the deal with surgeries - they all come with inherent danger, so they should only be used when the medical benefits outweigh the risks, especially when it comes to children.

Terrible to hear. Good to see the anti-circumcision comments, though.

Which came first? The egg or the chicken.

i am a full support of mens rights but come on... you want to force everyone to be ugly just because your parents kept your body ugly. thats a dumb argument.

id love to know when mens rights became "protect an ugly useless piece of skin at all costs"
