Circumcision?

[Chen]

I've decided to post a new therad, since the other one wasn't really about this anyways but about antisemitism.

So...pro or against? Let's continue from where we left off.

[Maxwell Clyde Merchant]

I am against INFANT circumcision. In this day and age, the hygenic justifications for male circumcision at birth are nullified by widespread access to clean water, antiseptics, and easily available health care. If one later wants to be circumcised, that is his/her/zir choice, but that is a choice one aught to be free to make for one's self.
