Stretch? It sounds like straight up medical malpractice. Performing any unnecessary procedure under the guise of necessity should always be viewed as malpractice. Yes, that means upselling "doctors" are committing medical malpracrice, but good luck punishing them when capitalism only rewards them.
Can we stop cutting up babies for profit already?
Well it sounds absolutely fucking ghoulish when you put it like that.
Yep, totally medically unnecessary mutilation of children.
Just like circumcision!
If you are an American male, theres a good chance your parents decided to geld you quite literally because 'everyone else was doing it!'
Male circumcision is bad enough, there's no need to quite literally lie and pretend it's castration.
