Your body is good enough just as it is — or so Prof. Clare Chambers (Cambridge University) argues in her book Intact: A Defence of the Unmodified Body. She joins Eli and Max to explain her Principle of the Unmodified Body, which is a political principle for resisting pressure to engage in body modification. We discuss the different kinds of reasons for body modification and the fuzzy boundaries between cultural, cosmetic, and clinical alterations. We also discuss whether religious practices merit ethical or legal exemptions, plus other ethical principles at play in evaluating circumcision, and how feminism relates to circumcision.
