So can I sue my parents for circumcision now? Or rather sue the U.S. government for allowing genital mutilation to children. The rate for adult males in the U.S. is around 80% of the population, and new borns is declining quickly. About 100 million men.
Let's say we sue for $100,000 a piece, which I would consider a low settlement for a government allowing mutilation of its population. What's that.. $10 trillion dollars or so?
I figure they would claim the department of health isn't a basis for legitimate information to warrant a legal case.
