[quote=Anonymous]I think there's lots of room for reasonable people to disagree on this issue. I was swayed by the reduced incidence of penile cancer and STD's, but as many have pointed out, an educated person in a first world country doesn't generally rely on a circumcision as protection against STD's, and Gardasil will probably be a preventative against penile cancer. I've also had doctors tell me that circumsized boys have a reduced incidence of UTI's. Interestingly, I thought that the best way to research this would be to find a study of men who had circumcisions done as adults. There is such a study, but these men were mostly doing the procedure to treat condyloma, a congenital conidiotn in which the foreskin is shortened and causes pain. These test subjects were therefore so relieved to be getting a circumcision, that their opinions on life before and after didn't seem quite relevant to the average guy.[/quote]
