But whose opinion is it? It certainly isn't the baby boy's opinion, but it's the parents who are trying to do what they feel is right. And when doctors, nurses and other family members are for it, and think that it needs to be surgectly modified, it is hard to say no and consider what the owner of that foreskin would want to do with it. Plus, you hardly ever heard the good parts of having a foreskin or why it is there prior to the Internet. And I doubt my parents asked the doctor "why is having a foreskin a good thing?".

The only benefit about getting it done as a baby is that it beats getting it done when you are 8-12 years old like in some parts of the world. But that gets into the religious reasons for getting it done, which I don't like. If you wait until you are an adult to get it done, then it is your decision and hopefully it isn't a cosmetic one to make you look like other people who live by you, or because you got teased growing up. That will probably be less likely now that the number of uncircumcised boys is increasing, and if 50% of them aren't cut, it is hard to pick on just one or two.
