And why don't you rely on actual medical opinions.  I'm the one who watched both my DS' heel prick and his bris.

You should also rely on medical opinions too :

2010 ROYAL AUSTRALASIAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS
"Ethical and human rights concerns have been raised regarding elective infant male circumcision because it is recognized that the foreskin has a functional role.
After reviewing the currently available evidence, the RACP believes that the frequency of diseases modifiable by circumcision, the level of protection offered by circumcision and the complication rates of circumcision do not warrant routine infant circumcision in Australia and New Zealand."

2010 ROYAL DUTCH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
"There is no convincing evidence that circumcision is useful or necessary in terms of prevention or hygiene."

2006 BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
"The BMA does not believe that parental preference alone constitutes sufficient grounds for performing a surgical procedure on a child unable to express his own view
Some doctors may wish to not perform circumcisions for reasons of conscience."[/quote]

We are in the usa where medicine is not socialized or rationed.

A more valid source would be the aap or other us associations
