[quote=Anonymous]i don't think there's anything wrong with the letter.  i found it very interesting.  i don't think most of us consider that someday our sons may be unhappy that we decided to circumcise them.

i agree that talking to his parents would make sense, but i also don't see anything wrong with addressing the mohel.

while i guess it's true that parents "get to" make this decision for their child, in my mind, i equate a parent deciding to have their male child circumcised with a parent deciding to get their female child circumcised, or a parent deciding in some other instance to harm their child or cut off a part of the child's body.  Sure, parents have dominance over their children and can decide to hurt them, but does that make it right?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i just read this letter from someone circumcised by the rabbi you recommend, who later in life regretted having it done and felt he had problems as a result of it.

Excellent mohel.  [/quote][/quote]

Sounds like he should be addressing his parents and he can gain a little insight into why they chose to have him circumcised. Maybe he would realize that he doesn't get to make that decision, his parents do.  He can make the decision for his own children which is his right to do.   And if he is having issues, go see a Urologist for assistance.    I stand by the post that he did an excellent job for my child and I would use him again with out a second thought.[/quote][/quote]
