Should circumcision be banned?

No, there is no evident research saying it is bad to get rid of it. I get the whole consent opinion. However, I do not think it affects the child in such a dramtic way that it even matters.

If most people decided that surgically removing portions of your nipples was good for 'hygiene' or because of some 2,000 year old book they happened to believe in would that be okay? What about some other body part? See how ridiculous this is? And it's not even like circumcision is the norm anymore for babies since in 2009 only 32.5% of parents actually got their kids 'cut.' Unless something radically changes in 20 years people are going to wonder what's wrong with all these white people with weird looking genitals, not the other way around.

but you see the nipple would be bad seeing as it is to breast feed. However a little excess skin does not change if they can produce semen or not.

For future reference, males do not breast feed and circumcision does not affect the production of semen. Semen also isn't produced via the nipple, at least.. directly..

yes, i know. But apparently you assume that if all the sudden cutting part of the nipple off was hygentic that it would just be for men. I was including women in that. See how breast feeding got in there? And i was merely taking about how it did not affect the semen production. but my typo changed the whole thing.
