Circumcision is the worst intervention of all. It sets the boy up for a lifetime of grief he doesn't even know the cause of. Physical & meantal. Of course, if the cut was "botched" (more damage than what you get in the "successful" denaturing of the child), then the boy/man knows for sure what the cause is. But often enough his brain dead parents won't admit they made a mistake in tolerating the cut.

C'est ca.

We didn’t circ our son. I used to work at a hospital, and witnessed it being done to a little baby boy. They’re totally naked , strapped down by arms and ankles. It was horrible. It broke my heart.

May you one day be seated at the right hand of God (if there is one). I say this because large numbers of hospital workers see this, and they still defend the practice. You are one in a million.

I had my three babies in Goa, India in the seventies. The first was an emergency C-section at the government hospital in Panjim and the next two at Dr. Colvalcar's Mapusa Clinic. At the clinic, the girl's family would stay with her and sleep on the floor under the bed. For my last baby, my ayah, Carmeline, got her sister to come and help me. What a difference that made! She would carry the baby and give it to me to nurse, then take it away so I could rest.

I think every baby needs two people. The mother to nurse and recover, and a helper to carry the baby around and do stuff.

This has been a brilliant series, thank you. This one made me cry.

This breaks my heart. I pray that all who are contemplating bringing children into this world read this and previous.
