[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a surgeon.  In med school when I saw the procedure being done, I vowed I not only never, ever do that to my boys, not participate in it indirectly.

Circumcision is male genital mutilation.  It is interesting that we in the US criticize other cultures for female genital mutilation and we do it ourselves to our boys.

The research has not played out to show a benefit to doing this at a population level. If a man engages in high risk sexual behaviors where the procedure might be beneficial, he could get the procedure himself at his own decision.  I will support my sons in this regard if needed.[/quote]
Liar. Study after international study shows substantial benefit from being circumcised. [b]The CDC was forced by the religious right to claim there was no benefit[/b] while at the same time presenting a lot of evidence that circumcising improves quality of life. Why make your adolescent child have the procedure painfully when it could have been done when he was an infant? (A real surgeon would not have been disgusted by a very minor procedure.)[/quote]

I thought religious ppl would want the CDC to claim there were benefits??[/quote]

Yeah, DP, that bolded line made no sense to me either.[/quote]
