Female Genital Mutilation Performed at Cornell University
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has appeared in the form of "corrective surgery" at a premier American hospital. While we lambaste the practice abroad, some doctors are justifying its use and performing FGM in the United States.
In 1997, it was estimated that 168,000 women and girls had been or were at risk of undergoing FGM. This isn't just immigrants bringing their cultural practice to the U.S.; as it turns out, FGM is being performed at an Ivy League university. This story demonstrates how our image-obsessed culture is encouraging the mutilation of young girls.
Dr. Dix P. Poppas, head of pediatric urology department at Cornell University's New York Presbyterian Hospital, one of the premier hospitals in the nation, has been performing clitoral reductions — a.k.a. female genital mutilation — on young girls. The abhorrent practice, according to the good doctor, is humane because it spares girls from the humiliation of having an "oversized" clitoris. He claims the practice is "nerve-sparing" and that he runs tests by prodding and using a vibrator on the young girls after the surgery.

WHA@?&THE!!&F***?
I've heard of the "condition", which I suppose some grown women who have it might elect to have surgically altered.
BUT 6-YEAR-OLD GIRLS?!? Who the hell are these parents and why haven't they been busted for child abuse?
Why does the Dr. have to stimulate them with a vibrator after the surgery?
That's pretty weird, isn't it?
That's to see if the nerves are still intact. The condition of clitoromegaly can be of legitimate concern, but I don't understand why this surgery is being performed on minor children unless there are health issues involved. From what they're saying it sounds like a cosmetic issue. For a sexually mature female it could be, but for a child?
Well, maybe this Dr. is legitimate in some way.
I wasn't thinking about the fact that he might be attempting to deal with people who are essentially hermaphrodites.
If that's what he's doing, then perhaps "Women's Rights", the organization from which this news came, is over the line.
He completed his residency in urology at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical School (1990-1994) and his fellowship in Pediatric Urology at Boston Children's Hospital-Harvard Medical School.Seems whenever harvard is mentioned -Islam also appears lately or is it just me ?
How many of his "medically necessary" procedures were performed om Non-Muslim females?
is the doctor an Arab Muslim or a western grown psychopath..??
put that maggot in federal prison and pin a note on his back saying.."I Mutilate 6 yr old girls"
Sharia Law is alive, and as always hideously disgusting, in the USA..
That's a good question, Gwenn.
OMG!!!
How can this be happening in America?
That woman painted as a black and white cow that Pastorius posted had huge labia and it didn't seem to bother her?
Sick mother fuckers. Leave your little girls alone. Protect your daughters. Peace and quiet for little children.
Wow, American Rose, you have a good memory.
Well, it's just by way of your saying that you hoped it didn't offended any one, ... you admitted its graphic nature.
It wasn't just another full body shroud, that's for sure.

bmc,
You are correct that it is not a Muslim thing in the sense that it is NOT IN THE KORAN.
However, almost every country on Earth, and almost every group of people on Earth who do practice this is/are Muslim.
Egypt is probably the biggest practioner of this abomination:
