    I think cutting bits and pieces of infants that cannot consent without medical necessity is always a good thing. Circumcision for religious reasons could also go on that list.

      I suppose so. Circumcision is a pretty minor procedure compared to what this article is about. I had circumcision for medical reasons and I am glad I did. I believe the issue becomes way more serious when the procedure is performed by people without medical training.

      That said, I totally respect the position of those that are against it.

        Which is why I highlighted for religious reasons. There are valid medical reasons to have one. Believing in god is not one of them. Especially, if it's not even you, but your parents.
