A small step for womankind

The Egyptian government has taken steps to finally outlaw the horrific practice of female genetic manipulation by closing a loophole that allowed the practice for "medical reasons". Last week the country's Grand Mufti had made a statement that said that the process was forbidden under Islamic law following the death of an 11 or 12 year old girl whilst undergoing the procedure. There is still quite a ways to go until this barbaric practice is eliminated.
