True, having a foreskin hasn't gotten any healthier. Our knowlege of hygine has, therefore what was once though of as unhealthy is now known not to be.

Your comparing apples and oranges. A human would have a much harder time living without teeth than without a foreskin.

That being said, I am cut. When I have a son I will not cut him.

From what I've heard, it origionated as a religious way to keep men fron masturbating.

Sir, I salute you. It seems rare these days to come across a man who is cut, but will not subject his son to the same.

Most of the reasoning seems to be that "it's healthier", which is bullshit, or that "so he will look like his dad or the other boys", which is ridiculous.

I am cut, doesnt bother me.

I have two sons, neither have been circumcised. My wife and I felt that it is an uneccesary procedure.

And NO, I don't worry that he will wonder why he's different than Daddy, or the boys at school. I have better things to worry about.

I understand the arguements for it, in regards to potential hygiene and/or health problems. But, again, keep the darn thing clean and you shouldn't have a whole lot to worry about. Anything else, tight foreskin, chaffing, whatever, can usually be taken care of easily enough, WITHOUT CIRCUMCISION. I'm with a lot of folks here, if your foreskin gets to the point of NEEDING to be cut off, you probably should have done something about it a little sooner. Granted, there probably is that rare case where it was malformed from birth or something, but again, RARE!

I know this sentiment is starting to sound like a broken record, but, circumcision is like pulling teeth so you don't get cavities.

I'm a girl, and if I had a boy, I would have him circumcised. It's the American way, right?

It seems like you're only being partially sarcastic. If you are critical of circumcisions popularity why would you have it done anyway?

Ethical and Human Right Considerations

Many medical bodies consider that circumcision should not be carried out as a routine procedure. The American Academy of Pediatrics say the benefits of circumcision are “not significant enough” to recommend routine circumcision. Other bodies include the Australasian Pediatric surgeons, The Canadian Pediatric Society. It is becoming more established that the removal of normal genitalia should be delayed until the individual can give informed consent themselves.
