Another victim of misinformation and lack of informed consent. Ge***al cutting disrupts a baby's eating/breastfeeding. This is common.
This is how babies commonly react after they have been genitally mutilated. Clearly this mother was not informed of this reality. Even though the choice should have belonged to victim, not his parents or doctor, several fundamental principles of health care were violated here, including the principle of INFORMED CONSENT.
"In health care, informed consent refers to the process whereby the patient and the health care practitioner engage in a dialogue about a proposed medical treatment's nature, consequences, harms, benefits, risks, and alternatives.1 Informed consent is a fundamental principle of health care.
The process of informed consent can be considered a patient safety issue from several perspectives. At the extreme, performing a procedure on a patient without his or her consent has been considered by the courts to be a form of battery."

This mother was not informed and this baby was battered.
