Finland is considering legalising the practice of male circumcision. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is currently preparing draft legislation, which would make circumcision acceptable when performed by a doctor, according to the parents' wishes, and with the child's consent.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Why to legalize child mutilation? It cannot be legal to cause unnecessary pain for several days while urinating on open wound? What next? How about legalizing lips or ear mutilation?

Should the small boys have equal rights than small girls or is Finland going to legalize girls genital mutilation too?

Finlands Minister of Social Affairs and Health Liisa Hyssälä is going to take Finland back to stone age.
