That might be right. I'm just saying that I don't object in principle.Svartalf wrote:Wait till growth is over, you can't a;lter a growing organism with previsible and lasting results.
The practicalities are down to the clinicians.
As far as the Mayo Clinic goes, it appears to be anecdotal rather than study based.
They quote the AAP as SAYING that the benefits outweigh the risks. Again, it sounds like anecdotal evidence. In any case, the risks are minimal, so it's easy to make the case for the benefits outweighing them. You're comparing minimal with minimal.
And who in the AAP gave their opinion anyway? Lots of jews go in for medicine.
Much of the "benefits" can be claimed for instances where it would have been done anyway, for medical reasons, like my brother.
Were these cases excluded from the alleged studies that we haven't seen any link to?
