Re: female circumcisionFrom: Arthurfree@aol.comSat Feb 21 23:12:36 1998
In a message dated 98-02-18 23:18:08 EST, the mysterious Dr. Peterman writes: << Women who have already undergone the procedure themselves, may play a role in perpetuating the mutilations (but why?), but I think we have too look at the people who control the culture itself. By in large, those persons are men. >> This is in no way trying to equate infibulation with circumcision, but there was a study from the University of Iowa a few years back that showed that the single most predictive factor in whether a male child was circumcised or not was his mother's belief of what appearance was more "normal" or "desirable". Are these the wounds of gender war? Arthur Freeland Warrensburg Missouri

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
