But it was phrased suing the parents. Wouldn't it be more a cease and desist thing? No, because it involves choice and these dudes think the choice of the parent is cruel.
If it is cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on them by their parents, then there could be a pain and suffering plus punitive damages considering the issues these guys clearly have in the present day from being snipped in the peepee.
However, if current/future parents knew that they could be sued for their actions, that would prevent them from being enthusiastic about circumcisions anyway.
I guess they could go after the doctor, but they would have to prove the doctor encouraged it. The guilty party is pretty much automatically the parent.
The parents were ignorant more than anything and it is the medical establishment that needs to be sued as a collective whole. Since it is a procedure that gets performed on the majority of male children in the US, there is enough to prove that it is done for routine and monetary purposes, rather than any health necessity, which was being used as a scapegoat. If the boys parents are still alive, they can still give recollections of why they chose to have their son circumcised based on the "phony" advise that was given to them.
