Is Religious Male Circumcision Still Denied In Taiwan Hospitals?

Crap. Parents do not make decisions for their children. They enable them, to make right decisions for themselves.

And they make decisions for them until they can make their own.

Like what?

You serious????

where to go to school
to go to school
what to eat
often, what to wear
chores
to do their homework
brush their teeth
take out the garbage
wipe their ass
where to live
how to talk
to go to bed at a certain time

Could name many more. Unless, of course, someone is an idiot hippy and raises total loser children.

Everything you mentioned are duties and not decisions. It is your bloody duty to wipe you kid's arse , feed him and send him to school. Give him up for adoption if you don't want to do any of those things. We don't betroth them at age 3 because we want them to grow up and make that decision, ditto with paying his college tuition fee in an engineer's course. we want them to grow up and choose what to to be proficient in.

None of which involves the completely unnecessary and irreversible removal of body parts.

You need to actually read a post before commenting (well, it is simply nice to do so, wastes useless back and forths...like this one)

where to live-not a duty

where to go to school-not a duty

when to go to bed-not a duty

too tired and don't care enough to go through the others, actually read them all next time before you say "everything". Thanks in advance.

divea asked, I answered. A useless detour in this conversation, perhaps, one which has little to do with the actual discussion, but I didn't start that ball rolling...

It's also a parent's responsibility to raise their kids morally and teach them ethics. For some of us, that is done in our religious traditions and that's where it's going to stay whether those who disagree like it or not.

The question the OP raised is based on religious freedom. Recognizing another person's freedom doesn't mean a thing unless it's something you personally disagree with. That's where the real test of freedom begins. Just because you don't personally approve of it doesn't mean it's wrong for everyone else.

Yes there's freedom for YOU. Religious freedom and as an adult if you want to get your nuts slashed, I am all for that too. The religious freedom does not extend to your child is all I am saying. Just like in some cultures we could marry the kids off before puberty...not any more. Are you in favour of the religions and culture that marry off 7 year olds? No?? Why what happenned to tolerance? I am pretty tolerant so don't you start on me about THAT one.

Erm where to live and where to go to a school is not a decision you make for the child, those are your own stupid decisions you make for yourself. When to go to bed is a duty....it is your frikkin duty to teach them to stay healthy, disciplined and well for most of us it really is never our decision , the kids decide on their own!!! You crack me up by even suggesting that you can make decisions for your child. When you cut off his foreskin, it isn't 'hey kid I helped you oooon with your trousers because you weren't able to', it is 'I cut off your little part because I read in my book that EYE should do it TO you'.
