Questions About Controversy

In the following post, I will be analyzing questions I still have about my topic. These questions will help me in beginning to craft my argument for Project 3.

I've decided to center my public argument for Project 3 on the controversy I utilized in Project 2: The controversy of performing circumcisions on neonate males. 


Who

Who is speaking on behalf of the infants? Meaning: Are there any parents speaking against circumcision, rather than only doctors?

Are there any females concerned with this issues, or only males as befits the topic?

Have any circumicsed men since spoken out about there own circumcision, having been unsatisfied with the decision they were unable to make?


What 

What are the most explicit endangerments to the health of a circumcised neonate?

What justification do religions give for circumcision? Anything health related, or all suspicion?

What evidence exists for the supposed health risks? Enough to be significant?


When

Is circumcision really still relevant in such a technologically advanced society?

Do the same original justifications of the past still exist today for circumcision?

When did circumcision become a ubiquitous procedure in first-world countries?


Where

In what group exactly did the question of whether circumcision is necessary unfold? Meaning: Are previously circumcised men responsible for the debate, or just doctors in general?

Are other cultures (apart from American) starting to question circumcision in the context of modern-medicine?

Are there any other mediums that participate in this controversy, besides doctors that is? Are religions speaking out?


How

As this is a relatively new controversy, how does it appear it will develop in the future?

How has it developed in a sense of time? Has this been "in the works" for a long time, or is it just now spiking people's interests?

How do both sides plan on enforcing their opinion? Will they turn to different mediums, as this is mostly present in scholarly articles?
