Circumcision - yes or no?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

To say circumcision is a "genital mutilation" is at best debatable, as the foreskin removal doesn't affect one's ability to have sex or urinate, which are penis functions.

Of course such procedure must be conducted with all responsibility, but that can be said about every surgical procedure.

Also, we need to remember, religious and cultural reasons aside, that in some cases circumcision is required on purely medical grounds.

No.  Keep the government's hands off of people's penises.

Best quote of the day.

Mandatory circumcision would be just as idiotic and narrow-minded as banning it.

Jesus Christ, people... you're talking about circumcision like it was something worse than AIDS and Hitler combined. Having or lacking a damn foreskin, what real difference does it make? Seriously. You're talking about piece of skin like it was some freaking essence of humanity.

masculinity.

Corrected that for you.

Everybody with any sort of clue says "if you must circumcize, do it on infants. It's awfully painful on older boys."

I can believe that. My friend undergo a circumcision for medical reasons at 10 and doesn't have particularly fond memories of this.

I really see what's the problem with being circumcision as an infant. You don't remember a thing and not having a foreskin is something pretty natural for you. It's not like it's affecting your ability to use penis as intended by nature.
