foetectomy?
Is crapping a Buttectomy?
> foetectomy?
In the USA it would be “fetectomy.”

You’re wrong. She would be clumsy, but not stupid.
I waited for other critics to respond first, but of course other provocative words for the procedure would be
(If we noted the removal, but not death)
“preneonatectomy”
“neonatectomy”
(If we noted death instead, not removal)
“preneonathanasia”
“neonathanasia”
While it would be dishonest and evasive merely to say
“neoplasectomy”
“lumpectomy”
“choice”
