And some of these comments look like there's some deepseated anger towards the parents of the posters, some from the same people who, as adults, did do alterations and in some cases bodily mutilations that are permanent(me included with tattoo and piercings) to themselves. As I said before, what you never had you don't miss-and using 'what-if's' is useless.

You'll never know if he misses it, as it is already gone. What you suggest with that is that "ignorance is bliss". It in no way (to my mind) validates the choice to have this surgery.
Who said kids should get permission for the decisions you make? I sure as hell didn't ask my son whether he should be vaccinated, but he is.
Circumcision seems like a no-brainer decision to me:
* are there any real benefits for this surgery? if no - don't do it.
