Doctors who perform genital cosmetic surgery could be criminalised under FGM laws

>British doctors could face criminal charges for allegedly carrying out "designer vagina" operations, reports suggest.

>The courts are currently deciding whether to employ [FGM] laws in three cases where doctors carried out cosmetic genital surgery on adult women.

>The first FGM prosecution to reach the courts resulted in an acquittal last year, meaning no one has ever been convicted of carrying out the illegal practice - also known as female circumcision - in Britain.

>The Crown Prosecution Service - who faced criticism over that case - is now reported to be considering using the same laws against doctors who perform cosmetic genital operations.

>A study published last month by the University of Melbourne found that an increasing number of girls as young as 15 are asking their GPs for advice about genital cosmetic surgery.

>Teenage girls who are increasingly concerned that their genitals don't look "normal" have been inquiring about the possibility of getting a labiaplasty - a surgical procedure that removes tissue from the labia.

>While she was Home Secretary, Theresa May told MPs that doctors would have to have a physical or mental health justification for carrying out this surgery or risk falling foul of the 2003 Female Genital Mutilation Act.

>Now, police are said to have opened investigations on three cases - one in Cheshire and two in London - and files have reportedly been passed to the CPS. The women reportedly paid privately for the surgery.

>"So-called designer vagina surgery is classed as FGM when it comes to rules on mandatory reporting," a source told the Evening Standard. "The question is whether it is in the public interest to prosecute."

...

Private clinics were told that they must not mislead women about the outcome of such surgery. [Experts cited] fears that the porn industry was creating unrealistic expectations of female genitalia.

Bumping. What does Sup Forums think of this?

Should they be prosecuted, even if the woman consented to the procedure?

Bump again.

why and how did the FDA approve the non-therapeutic, risky and lifethreatening, sex reassignment surgery and therapy as a standard treatment for those gender dysphoria mental disorder?

why and how did the FDA approve the risky and lifethreatening, non-therapeutic circumcision of male infants as a standard treatment in newborns?

Unwilling parents are even persuaded by doctors to have non-therapeutic circumcision of their newborn male children.

and why does the FDA deny, reject, and disapprove of life-saving, therapeutic cancer treatments that are practiced in other countries?

I don't think the FDA actually approved the first two things.

So far as I understand it, the FDA regulates food and drugs, not surgery. Am I mistaken?

Would this include MTG transsexual surgery?

FDA rejects laser/cryoablation tools for solid tumors

I see. Thank you for the info.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

But it's interesting to me that in the UK, labiaplasty is considered a form of female circumcision/female genital mutilation, with or without the consent of the woman/girl.

I agree, it's a strange, fine line. I support the rights of adults to make their own decisions. It's not until they start needing gibs to facilitate their mental problems that I have a problem. And no mutilating children. Let them make their own decisions once they reach adulthood.

What? I hate the fda now!

You let in immigrants, you get your clit lopped off.

why so hard to understand?

>penis enlargement not a crime
>vaginas are perfect and beautiful and touching one is a crime

but muh intactivism
lol faggot

What's their angle? Why would they do this?

>>The first FGM prosecution to reach the courts resulted in an acquittal last year, meaning no one has ever been convicted of carrying out the illegal practice

Actual FGM is okay in Bongland.

>The Crown Prosecution Service - who faced criticism over that case - is now reported to be considering using the same laws against doctors who perform cosmetic genital operations.

Legitimate plastic surgery that affect mostly white women will be prosecuted instead.

Roasties

suppressing curative minimally-invasive treatments is in their interests

It shouldn't be surprising. There are billions of dollars in profits to be made from cancer treatment. Why cure it when you can sustain the business model with a limitless supply of desperate patients?

Medicine is technology right?

Leave it to American government to ruin a scientists life because he found the cure for practically all types of cancer and managed to privately patent it making it impossible for the FDA & big pharmaceutical to profit from it.

he cured under 100 people since 1977 because thats all the FDA allows him to, there's just too much money in chemo.

>the same angle that promoted slavery, eugenics, war and genocide

meanwhile they care about genital mutilation, gender reassignment, and suppressing cures these days
