Video 10 out of 10 babies...

[jessjgh1]

This is very graphic, so take that into consideration. I don't remember seeing this one before...

Care to elaborate a little before I click?

It's the Scrubs episode of the circumcision question, then a 'survey' done to 10 babies about what they think of circumcision.

Omg one doctor said I'm sorry , another doctor was going shhh shhh , another doctor I think was singing to the kid, another doctor tried to calm the baby down by putting his finger in the kids mouth .

ACK! I had to turn it off. The Scrubs part at the beginning was cute and funny, but then they do this 10 out of 10 babies, and show actual circumcisions. It was horrifying.

DH and I sometimes talk about how we can believe this is still legal.

As soon as I saw the gloves and heard the screaming, I had to turn it off.

The video has me crying. I had to shut it off.

Absolutely HORRIFYING. How anyone could willingly do that to their baby is beyond me.

As horrible as it is to hear the cries, I feel like it is a good reminder of who we are speaking for. This will END!

I agree, it's horrifying... I stomach to watch it only to motivate me more and to remind me of the great need to continue speaking out to help end the practice of circumcision on children. Even if ALL babies have the best pain relief during and after the circumcision it would still be horrifying because of what is lost to circumcision. Moreover, the rationale used today in 2009 to continue the practice of circumcising children is horrifying as well. I think such videos should run as public service annoucements on T.V. to help spread the reality of circumcision ..... however after prime time with graphic disclaimers to prevent more young children from being traumatized watching it.

I say I see no reason to hide it because I have seen many parents taking kids to watch movies with full out intimacy scenes and kids end up laughing because they saw boobies or a naked butt .

Kids can take in and actually be more realistic about like for example when Brendan saw a circ'ed penis on a child his age his first thought was Owie for a 2 yr old.

I think in some ways us adults come deattached from our emotions it's like some may end up avoiding to feel something, some may try to hide emotions, some play its not there, some play this isn't happening, some who do something they don't like to ends up like I'm not the one doing this my evil henchman is doing that.

Some are wrapped up as in a control mind warp way like the brainwashing of having to do this because it's stuck in a command with reasons left after it etc .

It's like what you call a fragmented emotion which means your there yourself & you know what your doing but your actual mind leaves you to direct you to some place as if you were in the area of your past .

Also, many times parents end up hiding & covering up things so then when kids are telling the truths of their parents they end up getting called liars but then the actual liars actually start believing that the kids are lying & spacing out whatever they did as parents for whatever reason .

Then the kids may repeat the pattern as in assuming their kids are troublemakers or liars but some may end up fighting to not repeat but show heavy emotion once its done.

Like for that guy on that video who said I'm sorry to that crying boy while circumcising him there is remorse in him and he didn't like what he was doing. He supposedly knew & felt he was doing wrong but is it because he was a doctor he felt he had to do it even though he didn't like to do it ?

There are many doctors out there who know circ is not medically necessary and do not like to do it but they do it for some weird reason as in fear of going to someone else so I'm like why can't those docs say No or even educate the parents to be .

Too close to bed time to watch the 2nd half, but I am glad scrubs took a stance against.

[JessicaTX]

Did scrubs take a stance against it? It seemed like they were saying the women were against it, but the men weren't...well that's how I took it. I haven't watched that show so perhaps I'm not reading the characters right. That video is heartbreaking =(

Well, yea i guess the dad was worried about "personal benefits", most likely conformity, but the male doctor had the vision of what the baby would say. They coulda went further to say how it would be beneficial, but either way it is a medical professional stating there was no medical need and pointing out "what would the baby say?".

OMG thats horrifying - I had no idea the baby was actually awake for this!
I am SO glad that its not done here I would have to punch anyone who came near my son with a scissors.
I honestly dont understand how this can be done without any reason!
Its just torture!

Not only awake, but in most cases either no or insufficient pain relief is offered
