Nigerian baby bled to death after botched circumcision

By: thinkSPAIN


The results of an autopsy performed on an 18 day old baby boy who died in suspicious circumstances in Tarragona last weekend, reveal that the baby died of massive blood loss following a botched circumcision thought to have been performed by the baby's mother, who has been questioned, but not arrested.

The incident occurred at around 9.30pm last Sunday evening at the home of the boy's parents, a Nigerian couple, who live in Tarragona's Pilar district.

[size=13pt]A mother dies while giving birth. This is why giving birth is WRONG! IT CAN KILL! Does that make sense to you? I guess not. So you are logically illogical about your conclusion.[/size]

Birth is a natural process, circumcision is not.

How come when a girl dies from female circumcision, people call for the procedure to be outlawed, but when a male dies, no one says anything?

You reasoning is counterproductive! it doesn't reinforce you conclusion. because one baby die out of every 100000 thousand or more, does that mean we should outlaw male circumcision. should we outlaw driving because it leads to grievous bodily damage? No! your are more likely to die changing into or out of your cloth than from male circumcision.

We did it for girls. The vast majority of women survived female circumcision just fine, but when one died, the case was blown up and the practice was outlawed.

So I ask again:

why should the babys mother do the circumcision herself?
@poster,tell me why the babys mother did the circumcision herself and i would give you a million reasons male babies should be circumcised by the right and qualified personnel.

yes before jumping into conclusions, we must know why the mother performed the procedure, and her competence.
as we can not throw away the baby with the water used in bathing him. (Because the water is dirty)
Re: Nigerian Baby Boy Bleeds To Death After Circumcision by almondjoy(f): 1:14am On Feb 12, 2008
This is pure negligence.  Even in Nigeria, babies do not just die from a procedure as simple as a circumcision.  I am sure this native doctor has killed a baby with a history of "hemophilia".  Without proper monitoring and diagnoses--as usual--another poor baby has been called to glory!  Why are they even contemplating arresting the mother?  She should be arrested immediately and questioned on how come she did this procedure herself.  The story is sketchy and there should be an investigation into this before this woman does this again.

Gosh! angry

Please, it is not the process that kills but the manner in which it was done.  I would suggest the parents go for genetic counselling if it is heard of in Nigeria or where ever the hell "Tarragona's Pilar District" is to determine if there is a bleeding disorder in the family.  Baby boys do not just die from circumcisions I don't think.

You noted the reason in your own opening post--what part of the word "botched" do you not undertand?  In simple lingo--"phocked up" big time!  She caused the death of her baby not the circumcision itself.

We're dealing with a coagulopathy here. some hereditary bleeding disorder.
Don't know how that dovetails into outlawing circumcision. Poor deductive reasoning I must say.

You are so correct. This should be a lesson to all. If you think education is expensive--this is a proof that ignorance is more expensive.

Gosh! angry
