Cutting off a chunk of skin isn't mutilation?
Well, I think my nephew's arms are too "ugly". Maybe I should take a knife and slice chunks of skin out of his arms. I mean, it won't impact the function of the arms, and *I* don't think it's mutilation.
Yeah, what a horrendous comparison.
For starters, i'd dare say the pain would be greater as unlike the penis if you cut off the skin on an arm its going to expose the area underneath it and also a larger chance of getting muscle, tendon, and other things that are more of an issue. Not to mention, unlike the penis, it would leave the arm exposed to external sources meaning infection becomes more likely during that time.
Yes, looks are part of it for some as a joking thing. However the prime reason seems to typically be upkeep. Simply put, it is easier to upkeep on it when its cut. It has nearly 0 harmful reprucussions to the person.
Lets look at the actual DEFINITION of mutilation shall we?
"an injury that causes disfigurement or that deprives you of a limb or other important body part "
"Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of the (human) body, usually without causing death"
"mutilated - maimed: having a part of the body crippled or disabled "
Definitions of Mutilation
just a coupe that came up.
Disfigurement? Arguable since even that is speaking of the spoiling of appearance and again that does go back to the "how it looks. But even then, it does not deprive one of limb or body part.
The next definition? Degrades the appearance (debatable) or the function? Hmm, doesn't degrade the function at all. not mutilation by that definitoin.
Having the body crippled or disabled. Preeeeeeeety sure my guy's still working so I don't think that's the case.
No, sorry, its not mutilation and the attempt to compare it or allued to the abomonable things being done in other places in the world that actually DOES have a legitimate negative effect upon the organ is amazingly dishonest and frankly just makes your entire argument look like it belongs in the realm of something on SNL than a debate site.
