[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in adult urology. 90% of my day is spent diagnosing, treating, and instrumenting penises.
I only have daughters, but if I had a son, he'd be circumcised, no hesitation.

How do you think countries such as Germany, England, Sweden and Argentina are able to avoid adult penile complications?  You realize that over 95% of the adult male populations in those countries (and many, many other countries as well) are intact and do not experience the same type of problems that adult intact males seem to experience in the United States?  Mull that one over.  Perhaps your diagnoses are incorrect and your treatments are harmful and/or unnecessary.  Maybe the way doctors instruct the parents of intact boys to care for their foreskins actually leads to the types of problems you have witnessed.

Furthermore, by your logic, we should just start cutting off any body part that could cause a problem later in life.  You realize that specialists see diseased body parts every day?  For example, men are likely to get breast cancer than penile cancer.  Why not remove male breast tissue at birth?  Think of all the pain it could save in the future!  There is an endless list of problem body parts.  My question to you is:  why the foreskin?  Why do you think the foreskin, in particular is so expendable and so important to remove?
