This is more of a lie than stupidity that people delude themselves over to excuse the abuse and murder of babies

Remember this when you think about circumcision. I understand that for some its an important religious ritual, but for the rest? Ouch.

I don't think circumcision is right even if for religious reasons. It is mutilation.

Somebody got a grant, and had to figure out what to do with it.

I think it's ok as long as they don't do it on kids... but then they always do it on kids. :evil:

The foreskin is also a sensitive piece of organ, no idea why anyone would want to remove that. And female circumcision is another 1000% even more evil.

Years and years of waiting for this to happen naturally has ironically disproven the concept of weak genes phasing out on their own. How? Because every day, another stupid person is born that will eventually take the place of an intelligent human being who is passing on.

The truth is ugly, but I can tell you for a fact, there's a lot more stupidity today than there was even 20 years ago.

The question is; who would approve pain sensitivity tests on infants?

Quote:

In a small study, Rebeccah Slater of Oxford's pediatrics department and her team found when infants between one and six days old were placed in the MRI scanner, they usually fell asleep. The brain scans were done as a special retracting rod was placed on the bottom of their feet to create a sensation like being poked with a pencil.

"Our study suggests that not only do babies experience pain, but they may be more sensitive to it than adults," Slater said. "If we would provide pain relief for an older child undergoing a procedure, then we should look at giving pain relief to an infant."

But did the parents give consent for a test that would cause pain or discomfort to their children?

This bothers me.....why do these twits think that a baby cries when hungry, or cold, or from diaper rash or teething?

Dummies.
