I was circumcised, and don't appear to have any adverse side effects. My kids probably will be too, just because I was and everyone else I know is, and whatever benefits there may be in having an intact foreskin are offset by the probable impact on their psyche of kids in middle school making fun of them when they have to take showers in PE and would be different from everyone else, should they be uncircumsized.
Also, I bet it hurts alot, and if it's to be done, I'd rather them not have to have it done when they are old enough to remember pain. I think that benefit is also greater than any benefit in letting them choose.
