[quote=Anonymous]We are having a girl this time, but would not have circ'd, as we didn't with our son. I see this statement as supporting parent's right to continue to choose, and we just don't see that the benefits outweigh the risks for our family (and yes, there are benefits to having a foreskin - they're relatively minor, just as the risks of circumcision are relatively minor and the benefits are relatively minor). We just didn't see a good reason to do it (and I really didn't want to cut my newborn son again after the shots and the heel prick), so we didn't. Life goes on. Other families can make other decisions. I think this statement makes exactly that point - that families should decide what's best for them based on their own values, religion and cultural preferences and then do that. The pros and cons on every side on this argument have just been blown way out of proportion.[/quote]
