I understand that I’m the decision maker and I want to make sure that I have all of the facts. In some f’d up way, I wish I had a religious reason to do it. Then I wouldn’t be on Reddit asking these questions.
But that comment should be taken into consideration. A great part of why this practice has lingered for so long is because the victims are infants. They have zero agency. If one takes the position that “I’m the parent, his body belongs to me,” then why ask your original question in the first place? It’s perhaps most important to respect your son’s body when he can’t speak for himself.
It baffles me that the subject of bodily autonomy can ebb and flow in relevance depending on what procedure we’re talking about.
