Marilyn Milos on Circumcision

One of my personal heroes is Marilyn Milos, founder of NOCIRC, http://nocirc.org. Her story of personal activism is exemplar; a model for anyone seized by a passionate insight that something is wrong and must be corrected. As a nurse training to become a midwife she witnessed her first circumcision.

Marilyn Milos On Circumcism

Author:

Every parent has a right and an obligation to know what’s going to be done to their son behind closed doors. Not only to protect the son from a traumatic experience, because it is obviously traumatic, but also to prevent mothers from feeling the same way that I had felt about oh my God, I didn’t know enough to protect my own babies.

So many things to consider.

First Do No Harm

James W. Prescott, Ph.D.

There are no religious rights or freedoms to inflict harm or injury upon another person contrary to the history of religious traditions. From the time of Abraham (Genesis17: 9-14; 22: 1-18; Numbers 31:17-18; Proverbs 23:13-14); to Jesus Christ (John 1: 1-14; 3:16-17); to the Islamic Taliban violence against the human body is a common denominator of the monotheistic religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
