    I most adult males would rather be dead than endure adult circumcision (in the field, no less, by an army) without the benefit of precision instruments or anaesthesia.

  • Just to let you know, Chris, apparently modern adult circumcision rites for the purpose of converting to Judaism consist of a symbolic needle (ahem) prick, not cutting. Blood, however, must be drawn.

    Just FYI. :-)

  • Ouch. What if you were already circumcised (but not for entry into the Jewish faith)? Still get stuck with a needle? I am gussing so, since the physical requirement may be satisfied but the ceremonial aspect would have been entirely missing.

  • I think you're correct. It probably also depends on your Jewish movement (orthodox, reform, etc.). Thankfully, not my area of expertise. :-)
