This work critically examines the practice of circumcision, particularly as it pertains to addressing congenital abnormalities in males, arguing against its necessity and moral implications. Through analysis, the author intends to shed light on the cultural, historical, and medical contexts of circumcision. In this book, Snow discusses the prevalence of circumcision across various cultures and its historical roots as a sacrificial rite rather than a purely hygienic or medical practice. He delves into the nature of congenital phimosis—an ailment often purported to justify circumcision—highlighting that it is frequently a normal condition in newborns that can be managed through gentler means rather than surgical intervention. The text advocates for alternative, less invasive treatments to resolve issues associated with phimosis, asserting that circumcision is a barbaric form of mutilation that poses significant ethical questions and potential complications. Snow argues for a shift away from circumcision, suggesting that it is unnecessary and harmful in most cases. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 44.6 (College-level).
