Man “seeking God” Circumcises Himself and 4 Year-old Son
Does the religious freedom exist to mutilate genatails?
A Vancouver-area father has been found guilty of negligence causing bodily harm after botching a home-circumcision attempt on his four-year-old son as part of a spiritual quest to make things right with God.
This man took it upon himself to try and learn how to do a circumcision because he wanted celebrate Passover.
The man, identified only as D.J.W. to protect the identity of his son, began researching home circumcision on the internet and in the Bible, and by listening to a radio show.
His first attempt to circumcise himself ended up with his foreskin turning black and only part of it cut off. When he couldn’t stop the bleeding, he called an ambulance, and a doctor in a hospital emergency room ended up stitching up the bleeding wound.
And then he went on to botch the circumcision of his 4 Year-old Son.
The man testified in court that, after the boy consented to the circumcision, he fed him some mead — a biblical beverage made from honey — lay him on the kitchen floor, stretched his penis across a cutting board and cut off part of the foreskin.
When asked in court whether the man used ice to ease the boy’s pain, he replied, “Where would the Israelites have found ice?”
He then applied the Wonder Dust, gave the boy some ice cream and told him he could watch whatever movies he wanted that week, before heading off to church, leaving the boy in the care of his mother, who could not stand the sight of blood.
The question is, where would the Israelites have found Wonder Dust? Or refrigerators? Or anything modern that this man uses in his daily life?
Magical thinking can be harmful, the evidence is right here.
