Since 2007 I'm offering 50 € for a good argument pro circumcision. Unfortunately this page was in German and so did not attract too many readers. Further, I think that 50 bucks are not interesting enough for someone to dig for an argument on this topic. Therefore I decided after 14 years to raise the amount significantly and offer
1.000 € (in words: onethousand Euro)
for a valid argument to generally cut off babies and little boys parts of their penises.
Just to get things straight, not valid arguments are:
- Arguments from religion or ancient books. Even if one boy "believes" in a deity which he was tought by his parents and "agrees" to the procedure, this is not an argument for generally circumcising little babies & boys.
- Arguments from sexually distributed deseases. Babies & boys of young age have a more severe problem than circumcision, if such a desease is an argument.
- If you argue with studies, they must be made available to me (not behind a paywall or something) and must be either in English or German. Posting just articles and/or i.e. facebook posts is not enough. Also remember that a study must provide evidence for a general mutilation of children. Reducing the percentage of getting HPV or HIV for a few percentage points is not enough to recommend this as a common and best practice approach to prohibit diseases.
- A medical intended removal of the foreskin to prevent more serious harm (i.e. due to a birth defect) is not meant with this prize, only the cosmetic surgery.
- I'm only referring to non-adults. If a person reached adulthood, he can do whatever he wants with his penis.
And last but not least some legal stuff:
You cannot sue me for paying or not paying the prize - it's a voluntary offer and I can withdraw it at any time. I'll also pay this amount only once (since I'm not a Millionaire) to the first person offering a valid argument for general genital mutilation of children.
