	Circumcision or Mutilation? And Other Questions About a Rite in Africa - TierneyLab - Science - New York Times Blog

	Female Genital Mutilation ma Dissertation - Elizabeth Bransfield
		For example, “it may be a rational – and even loving – decision for a mother to decide to genitally mutilate her daughter in a culture where she will stand little chance of finding a husband otherwise” (Pickup, 2001:22).
		In addition, her mutilation was overseen by a close friend - a registered nurse, who not only ensured that “medical doctors were on full alert and that there were clinics close by in case of emergencies” but who also “broke the code of silence” in order to inform her of what was happening (Ibid:292).
		However, it is significant that she describes her own mutilation using aggressive and shocking language: “kidnapped”, “yanked up”, “unimaginable agony”, “grabbed,” “hoisted”, and “terror”; her choice of language is suggestive.
