[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand you people.  It is ok to cut off foreskin (for non religious reasons)  and forcibly puncture infant's ears, but a little lemon juice in their hair means you are not happy with how they look?  [/quote]

I think there is a big difference with doing thing for cultural and religious reasons vs. doing it because you think your child is not pretty enough with her brown hair.[/quote]

PP said for non-religious reasons. Plenty of people circumcise so DS can look like daddy.[/quote]

So does the American Academy of Pediatricans also recommend that you put lemon juice in a child's hair to make them look more Aryan?  [/quote]

Please read precisely. AAP does not recommend routine circumcision for all newborn boys. They only say the health benefits, in their view, are great enough to warrant insurance coverage. (NB that the health benefits of circumcision are questionable enough for European countries to advocate against its routine performance.)

Obviously, highlighting hair does not have any health benefits. However, in circumcision debates (not looking to start one here), proponents often say they did it because daddy was circumcised, too. Those people's actions then are comparable to OP's.[/quote]

Or the people who circumcise because they worry that their son will otherwise be laughed at in the locker room. Or will not be attractive to women. Those arguments are very similar to OP's.[/quote]
