Yes, I was being a bit terse with my language, which is why I clarified a bit in my last comment. Here's how I might have written it better:
> FGM reconstruction actually seems to have negative outcomes post-surgery. I'm surprised by this.
Surgery is essentially mutilation, just in the physical sense (you are cutting through healthy tissue), not a moral sense (the whole point is to make the body more healthy). The information gathered from mapping nerve endings in a clitoris will hopefully help surgeons perform reconstruction surgery with less damage to the body.
The information for where nerve endings are likely to be will probably help surgeons give their patients a better outcome.
You understand you're replying in a thread about female genital mutilation?
