Editor’s Note: This article is a commentary on a paper published in Vol. 6, No. 1 ofHealth Care Analysis [1]. There was insufficient room for it in that issue. It is included in the present Reviews section because it neatly summarises many of the features of the ‘female circumcision/genital mutilation debate’. Interested readers are welcome to make further contributions on this matter.
