one of the tribe elders was asked about the accident...
I asked what he thought of the boy whose penis was cut off. "Accidents are accidents," he said, emphasizing they seldom happen. "It is not dangerous. We have done this since time immemorial."(source: NPR)
Perhaps we make too big a deal of the mistakes in our ritual as well? The fight to change the customs because of the minor health risk.. maybe we should use a similar approach - sometimes accidents happen, but overall it is not a dangerous procedure...
hmmmmm
