Definition
The vagina, (from Latin, literally "sheath" or "scabbard" ) is the tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female placental mammals and marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds, monotremes, and some reptiles. Female insects and other invertebrates also have a vagina, which is the terminal part of the oviduct. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina [Jul 2006]Female circumcision
Female circumcision is a term that loosely refers to a number of procedures performed on the female genitalia and which are generally of a cultural, rather than medical, nature. It is a very nearly universal practice in parts of Africa and is frequently practiced in the Arabian Peninsula and Asia.
The practice is rejected within Western Civilization, where it is usually regarded an unacceptable and illegal form of involuntary body modification and is often called female genital mutilation (FGM). --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_circumcision [Sept 2004]
