Both male and female genital cutting persist, generating a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry that is defended by its proponents with dubious studies, manipulated statistics, and an appeal to ?custom.? Physicians and parents alike have been misled into believing that these mutilations are beneficial, necessary, and harmless. Today, flawed studies have allowed the promotion of circumcision as a way of combating HIV/AIDS in Africa, an experiment that failed in the USA, where a half-million circumcised males have succumbed to AIDS. These facts notwithstanding, the public and legal outcry against these abuses is increasing. For instance, the high court in Cologne, Germany ruled in 2012 that circumcision harms the child, that the harm is irreversible, that it denies the child the right to his own body, and that circumcision denies the individual the right to choose his own religion. Thus, the issue of circumcision has expanded beyond the arena of medicine and is firmly established as a human rights and legal problem. The contributors to this volume, an international panel of experts in the fields of medicine, law, ethics, anthropology, sociology, history, religion, and politics, thoroughly examine and elucidate this violation of human rights. 606 $aPediatrics 606 $aEthics 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aPediatric surgery 606 $aSociology 606 $aPsychology 606 $aPediatrics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H49006 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 606 $aPediatric Surgery$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59079 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 606 $aPsychology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y00007 615 0$aPediatrics. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aPediatric surgery. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 14$aPediatrics. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aAnthropology. 615 24$aPediatric Surgery. 615 24$aSociology, general. 615 24$aPsychology, general. 676 $a392.1 702 $aDenniston$b George C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHodges$b Frederick M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMilos$b Marilyn Fayre$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739422103321 996 $aGenital Cutting: Protecting Children from Medical, Cultural, and Religious Infringements$93552931 997 $aUNINA
