Have we exhausted every other issue that deals with life and it's realities ?
No we have not. These issues are part of life, and life is relentless, nothing ever stops happening. If it happened a hundred years ago, it happens now too. Surely you know that.
There isnt much harm is discussing how/why/whats of any issue. I mean if we can discuss women who cant tell the time and men who dont understand no, why cant we discuss female circumcision?
