Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Circumcision, A Dangerous Collective Madness

The extreme seriousness of this syndrome comes from the fact that it is perpetrated upon the child.

(PARIS, France) - A recent advance in psychiatric criminology is interested in the perpetrators of sexual mutilation.

It diagnoses a transgenerational and collective Münchhausen syndrome by proxy.

Say `No`! to Female Genital Mutilation

International Day on Zero Tolerance...

(VICTORIA, B.C.) - Female Genital Mutilation is a heinous crime still perpetrated against girls. On February 6 2011 throughout the day, the entire world community is being asked to chant together a resounding “No!” in unison with all activists against female genital mutilation.

As this is the date marking the 8th International Day on Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation, collectively, we can honour the global concerted efforts which rarely get the media attention, but which represent, both practical and existential struggles, against FGM tradition practice.

A New Biblical Breakthrough: Moses`s Son Forcibly Circumcised Against His Father`s Will

New Biblical breakthrough: the circumcision of Moses's son was forced upon him and his parents

(PARIS, France) - During the Exodus, the Egyptian Pharaoh forced Zipporah, Moses's wife, to perform the circumcision of their son, against Moses's will:

ABRAHAM AGAINST CIRCUMCISION, A FORMIDABLE BIBLICAL BREAKTHROUGH

In the very first Covenant (Gen 15), young Abram obtained from "God" the abolition of circumcision. In the Covenant of Genesis 17, "God" FORCED circumcision upon old Abram!

(PARIS, France) - After the staggering Biblical breakthrough that Moses's Second Commandment forbids circumcision, which Salem-News.com published in 2008,
Sigismond received the support of Professor Thomas Römer, the tenant of the chair Biblical circles of the Collège de France, the highest French academic institution:

"..., you are right asserting that Gn 17 presents another vision of circumcision than Gn 15 or the Deuteronomy. The "lay" writers were seemingly less interested by this practice, and even opposed to it..."

Circumcision is a Real Killer in America

It used to be 'elective tonsillectomies'; that was the doctor's money making game, but it was outlawed.

(SALEM, Ore.) - I can't help being a little obsessed over the fact that more than 100 American male children die every year from being circumcised.

A study published last April; Thymos: Journal of Boyhood Studies, estimates that over 100 baby boys die from circumcision complications every year. These deaths are attributed to anesthesia reaction, stroke, hemorrhage, and infection.

`THOU SHALL NOT CIRCUMCISE` The ABOLITION OF CIRCUMCISION BY THE Second Commandment(*)

The Second Commandment BANS SEXUAL MUTILATION.

(PARIS, France) - John the Baptist and Jesus died for baptism by water rather than by the trauma of the “original” punishment, intended to prevent the famous “sin”.

Circumcision and Penile Anesthesia: Not Before but After

As a doctor doing physical exams hundreds of times a circumcised penis does not look like a normal one; the skin looks leathery and it is no surprise that victims complain that the sensitivity is decreased or even lost.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Exactly why Tim King posted his article about Penile Mutilation, December 26, 2009 in Salem-News.com I have no idea. It brought on a tsunami of responses which really staggered me.

I thought I should enter the fray from the “other side” of the scalpel – Circumcision by an Intern, Dec. 30, 2009.

`The Lost Embrace`, Circumcision and Peace

Our writer in France reviews a movie by Daniel Burman with an unforgettable circumcision scene.

(PARIS) - Marilyn Milos (a nurse founder of the American movement NOCIRC against infantile sexual mutilation) wrote me: “I would put my own body between the scalpel and the baby.”

Reproaching her son to come back home late without warning, the excessive mum of Ariel, the thirty year old or so hero of the movie, also brings her body into play, possibly because of unconscious guilt for having let him be circumcised; why else would she have taken the cake knife that she is holding out to him, saying: “Kill me!”?

Circumcision by an Intern

That's a Real Owee! Circumcision from a doctor's point of view.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - For many years I wondered about this Biblical/archaic procedure. I was intact when my older brother had it done when he was in the Navy along with a hernia repair.

I think my younger brother had it done as a standard operating procedure (SOP). I really didn't get close to it myself until my medical internship.

America: Land of the Mutilated Penis

Americans need a national New Year's resolution: to end the barbaric practice of male genital mutilation, otherwise known as circumcision.

(SALEM, Ore.) - If you really think about it, it might be possible to recall the first time somebody explained to you what a circumcision is.

I don't think we ever get over the shock of that knowledge, and those of us who were put through this torturous act certainly never really heal from it, instead we pay for our parent's decision for the rest of our lives.
