[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like anti vaccine phobia, Science wins against the crazies once again .[/quote]

Crazies because we didn't want to do voluntary surgery on our newborns when the scientific evidence was mixed? Riiiight.

BTW, the rest of the world thinks we're the crazies.[/quote]

It's like clipping a toenail at the newborn stage.  My kids were given sugar water, didn't cry and were healed within a day...actually the umbilical cord stump was more of a PIA to deal with then post circ area.  I hardly put it in the category of 'surgery'.

It isn't. And the studies support it being a painful experience, which is why sugar water is unethical.

"There is considerable evidence that newborns who are circumcised without analgesia experience pain and physiologic stress. Neonatal physiologic responses to circumcision pain include changes in heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and cortisol levels.36–39 One report has noted that circumcised infants exhibit a stronger pain response to subsequent routine immunization than do uncircumcised infants.40 "
