Doug’s Dynamic Drivel

Science Daily comments today on the numerous recent reports that try to promote male as an AIDS preventative and a new report that destroys that argument.

In new research, male circumcision is found to be much less important as a deterrent to the global AIDS pandemic than previously thought. The author, John R. Talbott, has conducted statistical empirical research across 77 countries of the world and has uncovered some surprising results.

The new study finds that the number of infected prostitutes in a country is the key to explaining the degree to which AIDS has infected the general population. Prostitute communities are typically very highly infected with the virus themselves, and because of the large number of sex partners they have each year, can act as an engine driving infection rates to unusually high levels in the general population.

The study has a number of important findings that should impact policy decisions in the future. First, male circumcision, which in previous studies had been found to be important in controlling AIDS, becomes statistically irrelevant once the study controls for the number of prostitutes in a country.

If you, as an adult wish to be circumcised go for it, that’s your rightful prerogative. Doing it to a child is, as far as I’m concerned, child abuse - plain and simple, and should be treated as such.

There are no medical reasons why should be performed. All the supposed ones are a result of poor hygeine. Teach your son how to clean himself properly and all those reasons go away.
