The Barbarity of Circumcision as a Remedy for Congenital AbnormalityThe Barbarity of Circumcision as a Remedy for Congenital Abnormality by Herbert Snow is about the history of circumcision and the argument that it is detrimental to human wellness and immoral. Excerpt: "The earliest historical or quasi-historical notice of circumcision is to be found in Genesis xvii.; where Jahve enjoins upon Abraham the personal performance of this mutilation, as a sign of the covenant henceforward to subsist between them. Abraham, his son Ishmael, and all his male slaves forthwith underwent the prescribed operation; which thence-forward remained obligatory upon their posterity, though not without transient periods of desuetude." |
