There are plenty, but the article does appear to have been modified heavily since I last checked it. Kellogg advocated for circumcision because he knew that it was mutilation.

Ctrl + f "circumcision"

Regardless, some nut's opinion hardly says much. He also made Corn Flakes to make people stop masturbating.

EDIT: Looks like he may have been behind the circumcision of children in the US, though that is disputed. It seems the nut mostly saw it as a way to stop masturbation.

So, still irrelevant to what I've said.

You have to expand the subcategories first lol

You could try making your point instead of just joking. You're just convincing me you're a troll.

EDIT: Ok no, I see now. Is this it?

Although generally against unnecessary surgery to treat diseases,[50][51] in his Plain Facts for Old And Young he advocated circumcision as a remedy for "local uncleanliness" (which he thought could lead to "unchastity"),[52] phimosis,[52] and "in small boys", masturbation.[52]

So, he advocated for circumcision for uncleanliness and masturbation which is, of course, absurd. But it seems for phimosis it generally is the last resort once all else has failed.

Performing a modification to someone's body to inhibit them from doing something that's normal and that they want to do is mutilation.

Not what's happening in what we're discussing, and also not what mutilation means.

0/2.
