| Nov 24, 2018 at 7:32 | comment | added | Stewart | @SJuan76 Thank your pre-emptive judgement about my motivations. However, your telepathy failed you, and I have no intention of starting a rant at all. I want to understand the legal basis for an act being crime against an adult, which is not a crime against a child. There are other acts of violence which fit this, not just genital cutting. I don't need to know the legal status of circumcision, which is why I don't mention it. I want to understand the legal logic, the legal basis. Why is it OK to do to child, what you would never do to an adult? | |

| Nov 23, 2018 at 10:43 | comment | added | SJuan76 | This series of questions begins to seem more like a way to introduce a rant about circumcision than an honest question. If you want to ask about the legal status of infant circumcision, please do so openly without circumlocutions; there is no sense in trying to drive the "debate" because this site is not for debates (please check the FAQs). Questions and dissertations about what should or should not be are not a good fit for this site. | |

| Nov 23, 2018 at 5:32 | comment | added | Stewart | Obviously an infant does not want part of his penis cut off. I don't see what there is to define. For your example of "forcefully expressed wishes not to go to school today have no legal force", I struggle to see how it's directly applicable. My own daughter does not go to school. She is home-schooled. This is 100% legal. | |

For this question even to be meaningful, you would need to define the "wishes" of an infant. Even for a non-infant minor, forcefully expressed wishes not to go to school today have no legal force. | |
