23. Circumcision: A Moral Dilemma
from Preconceived
Circumcision of newborns is a Jewish and Muslim tradition. Beyond that, demographic studies suggest that over 50% of males in the United States are circumcised. Yet ultimately, circumcision in the typical circumstance equates to performing an elective surgical procedure on a non-consenting newborn. How has the situation come to be as such? Yale and Harvard Ethicist Brian Earp joins the podcast to discuss the ethical considerations and preconceptions surrounding both male and female circumcision. Hosted on Acast.
