The Barbarity of Circumcision as a Remedy for Congenital Abnormality

The pamphlet surveys the long-established practice of male circumcision, tracing its ritual origins and global diffusion, and examines the scriptural, cultural, and hygienic rationales advanced for it. Drawing on historical sources and ethnographic observations, the author challenges claims that the operation serves medical or sanitary ends and critiques its endorsement as a remedy for congenital deformities. The argument emphasizes the pain inflicted on infants, questions authoritative sanctions for the practice, and urges reconsideration of circumcision's use in medicine in favor of less harmful alternatives.
