Botched Circumcision: Who is at fault?
I was reading an article (not going to link to it because it is way too graphic). Anyways the question was posed, who is at fault when circumcision goes wrong?
As a single male with no kids and none in the (near) future, I admit I am not an expert on this matter. From my understanding, the practice has no benefits today and is only done because many males want their sons "to look like them."
If there is no benefit and only a chance of something going wrong, why are doctors still doing this procedure? Should parents be able to sue the hospital if the hospital is found at fault? Should the child be able to sue his parents when he gets older? Or is it just an "oops" and the child has to learn to live and accept himself with?
As mentioned, I do not have kids. If I ever were to, he would not be circumcised even though I am.
Parents: Did you have your boys circumcised? why?
What would you do if the operation of botched?
