[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just about weighing benefits vs. risks. It's also about looking at the bigger picture: avoiding diseases that your circumcised child could still very easily contract vs. subjecting your child (who is unable to consent or voice an opinion) to unnecessary surgery.

People without foreskins are still at risk to some degree. People with foreskins can choose to cut them off when they become consenting adults. What cannot happen, however, is your child regaining the piece of skin you erroneously had removed from his body, both putting him at an unnecessary risk of infection/surgical complications and removing the most sensitive part of the penis.

I have never been with a guy who wishes their parents didn't have them circumcised. I mean seriously have you ever met a guy who wants to regain his foreskin, I did meet a guy who wished his parents had him circumcised when he was a baby. He said he has had several infections but does not have the money and is too scared to get it done as an adult.  [/quote]

I haven't seen a single boy my DS's age who is circumcised, and we've had our fair share of play dates and I helped out in preschool for years. So my guess is pretty soon circumcised men may indeed wish they weren't.

They used to pertty routinely take out tonsils too. It was a fad.[/quote]
