I'm not into "telling" people what to do, just informing them so they can make an educated decision. That way, if they DO decide to circ, they can at LEAST make sure the baby gets anesthesia. (between 60% and 75% have no anesthesia at all) In this country, it is illegal to perform surgery on a cat or dog or bird or whatever without pain relief, but not on newborns. Some doctors claim they can't feel pain. Anyone who's been near a baby knows that's BS.
Meanwhile, it's illegal to do any sort of analogous surgery on female babies. Only male babies are discriminated against.
And we can agree to disagree, but I personally would be pissed if ANY part of me was amputated for cosmetic reasons without my consent. A lot of men don't care, and a lot of men don't want to think about it. But I still think the choice should be up to the PERSON.

I understand what your saying. Its just hard to leave something up to the person, when they have x amount of years until they can support themselves and their ideals. Parents usually do what they see is best. I was just stating my opinion on your opinion. I in no way wanted to offend you. I think I did, so I am sorry and I appologize.
