"This shit has got to end and those responsible for doing it need to be locked up for life" will happen only when the regulatory infrastructure is replaced by people who are free from avarice and have taken a vow of self-imposed abject poverty or subsistence, that is, earning the minimum that will keep their body and soul together. Some more kicks in the teeth are required before that happens.

I'm not clear how living in poverty will support an end to circumcision and imprisonment of those responsible for it.

Poverty has great power, too. In a hospital setting, this procedure is easy money for the physicians and/or surgeon. If money is gone, they will likely not be tempted to perform it.

Please consider my above comment in its totality. For example, the licensing (regulatory) environment keeps physicians in fear of not losing the license, that fear primarily arising from having to maintain their high income/prestige. Any (easy) income becomes attractive. It is just a human process, true for all of us.

I understand what you are trying to say in terms of people's greed and absurd desperation to hold onto prestige and financial power. Nonetheless, it must be noted that poverty is a satanic creation. It is not Mankind's natural state and is almost always a response to trauma. The Creator has given us everything that we need right from the start so living in poverty is a total aberration and a result of dark force influence in our lives.
