摘要

摘要:这篇评论考察了12个故事，在这些故事中，父母讲述了他们(通常是他们的共同父母)如何决定是否给他们刚出生的儿子行割礼。一些人争论这是否应该由他们来做决定。这些故事让我们得以一窥，在信息不完整、不断变化、公众争议激烈的背景下，人们如何努力为孩子们做最好的事情。这篇评论探讨了当今美国包皮切除手术的不同含义和相互矛盾的常识性信仰。考虑这些父母的反思——以及他们的沉默——可以帮助我们理解关于男性割礼伦理的辩论在现实生活中的后果。

Circumcision Stories: Enhancing our Understanding of Parental Perspectives in a Context of Controversy

Abstract: This commentary examines twelve stories in which parents recount how they (and often their co-parent) decided whether or not to circumcise their newborn sons. Several debated whether this should be their decision to make. The stories offer an intimate glimpse into people's efforts to do the best for children in a context of incomplete and changing information and intense public controversy. The commentary explores the diverse meanings and contradictory commonsense beliefs that surround foreskin removal in the United States today. Considering these parents' reflections—and their silences—can help us appreciate the real-life consequences of debates about the ethics of male circumcision.

期刊介绍： Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics (NIB) is a unique journal that provides a forum for exploring current issues in bioethics through personal stories, qualitative and mixed-methods research articles, and case studies. NIB is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of bioethical issues by publishing rich descriptions of complex human experiences written in the words of the person experiencing them. While NIB upholds appropriate standards for narrative inquiry and qualitative research, it seeks to publish articles that will appeal to a broad readership of healthcare providers and researchers, bioethicists, sociologists, policy makers, and others. Articles may address the experiences of patients, family members, and health care workers.
