It's bad enough that people in the US still allow their children's genitals to be mutilated. But now we have Genies running around Jakarta filleting foreskin.
And on a more serious note:
If you are having (or thinking about having) a penis-having baby, please make an informed decision about circumcision. It really is a barbaric procedure rooted in the most idiotic motivations. If you are going to allow your child to be hurt, at least know what's going on. Hopefully you'll choose not to do it, and we can put an end to this tragic tradition.
