@pony I don't have any opinions one way or the other about circumcision, but there is no good reason to cut vocal cords in... anyone. I don't care if the person is disabled and screams up a storm. I have an older brother who is exactly that and the screaming never happens for no reason. There's always some aspect of fear or a need for attention/assistance that causes the screaming, and he does it because he is mentally incapable of communicating it in any other way. "Fixing" the issue by removing his ability to scream wouldn't solve anything, and considering he used to just get extremely violent around people when he needed something I think I'd gladly prefer the screaming.
