Date: Wed, 2 Dec 1998 21:04:48 -0500 (EST) From: Joseph Flanagan III <flanagan-AT-odin.english.udel.edu> Subject: Re: FGM - beyond victimage - Walker's Joe, I suspect that the issue will be difficult to discuss. However, I suggest that you take a look at Sandra D. Lane and Robert A Rubinstine's "Judging the Other: Responding to Traditional Female Genital Surgeries." It's found in the Hastings Center Report, May-June 1996 v26 n3 (I located it by way of Expanded Academic ASAP under Clitoridectomy: Moral and ethical aspects). It might be beyond your students, but you may be able to read it yourself and translate it for them. You may be able to use it to convince them that, in the words of the abstract, "coming to moral judgement is not the end of the story: we must also decide what to do about our judgements."
