Samer Saffarini - Press Conference Statement

Samer Saffarini, a law student at the University of Virginia and co-drafter of the Hadach v. Oregon complaint, explains that circumcision is ethically indefensible and scientifically unsupported, yet remains a taboo topic in American discourse. He describes how even in law school, where human rights are frequently discussed, the issue of childhood genital cutting is almost entirely absent from academic and legal debate. Saffarini views this lawsuit as a catalyst to force serious national discussion about circumcision’s legality, ethics, and cultural normalization. He draws parallels to past public health failures—like smoking and lead exposure—arguing that societal inertia once again enables preventable harm. Invoking Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s call to re-examine public health taboos, Saffarini concludes that honest, mainstream scrutiny will inevitably lead to the end of childhood genital cutting in America.
