If someone said to me "Hey, why don't you stab our baby in the arm with this fork? It's our cultural tradition, and he won't remember it later anyways." I would still choose not to stab that baby with the fork, and I would think that was a pretty stupid tradition.

What are the benefits of stabbing a kid in the arm with a fork? Any? None? Would it make them less likely to get an sti/infection or less like to transfer an sti/infection? If it would, I'd do it for sure. I'd be lining up to stab kids with forks.
