Abstract
Genital mutilation has always been a cure for the latest fashionable disease. From curing club foot and epilepsy to ensuring a faithful wife, it has been the universal remedy. Now is the time to break down the barriers, alter perceptions, and broaden the knowledge of the subject to every thinking human in the civilized world. This talk will explore ways of widening the debate to make genital mutilation as acceptable to discuss in polite society as HIV/AIDS has now attained.
