| He talks about bloodletting but ignores the elephant in the room: circumcision. You go to the US and you have to be careful if you have a boy because they will circumcise your child without asking for permission. If you ask Americans they will tell you that it is an hygienic, prophylactic measure, but the real reason is that it became fashion to copy the British royal family that did it, and after that they just continued the tradition. People support it not because they "don't have skin in the game" but because they have. Because the majority of them were already circumcised and there is no way back,or experience the alternative, so they want to believe there is a real reason for that, instead of the bogus Royal thing. I asked a lot of people there and they painted a terrible world if you dare not to do that. I come from a country in which 90% are not circumcised and the image they had about the alternate reality was surreal and made no sense. Another thing that Americans do is boiling eggs requirement, for "hygienic" reasons, destroying natural antioxidants, or natural antibiotics and antifungi so eggs could be way more dangerous than natural ones after time. In France we had irradiated food for a long time. Crazy if they don't let you choose. Today there are lots of things that could lead to secondary effects: You have forced Water fluoridation.
You have forced GMO food you could no opt out.
Forced electromagnetic signals everywhere you can not opt out.
Forced flame retardant in foams, sofas and bed mattresses.
Forced COVID vaccination. But the most absurd of all is the Daylight Saving Time. I believe the real culprit of that behavior is human hubris. People simplify the world, and under the simplification a new idea is fantastic. So for example you take the statistics and see smokers usually burn their houses while they smoke in bed and something happen, and forcing everybody to use flame retardants will save the risk of those people, but you can not see the new dead people that you create after they get cancer that will never smoke in bed. |
No, they won't, unless they really want to lose a slam-dunk lawsuit and possibly face criminal charges. Outside of a very limited set of circumstances, you can't just perform surgery on a person without their consent (or in this case, the proxy consent of the parents).
