Description Body modification is nothing new but as cultural practices shift over time, one person’s ‘normal’
 can become another person’s ‘mutilation’. Male circumcision, female genital mutilation, and genital plastic surgery are very different interventions. Are health issues the only real justification for cutting? What place for religion, culture and aesthetics?
