Sure, there are some health benefits....But not enough to warrant hacking off a piece of a kid's junk, in my view.
There's literally no health benefits. You could argue that it is more hygienic but even then I wouldn't say so. It's not hard for a guy to pull his foreskin back and wash it.
Circumcised guys lose a lot of sensation down there. I don't see any benefit to it whatsoever, unless the kid was born with an extremely tight foreskin and it became a medical nessecity or something along those lines.
To hack off part of your kids junk without their permission is just child abuse and should be treated as such.
It's clear that my answer to the OP is no, isn't it?
There are minor health benefits...uncircumcised men do have higher incidences of of chronic yeast infections. Repetitive tearing/fissures to the tip of the foreskin is a common complaint as well, that can result in bacterial infection and/or cause mild pain/discomfort during penetration. However, I'll repeat that permanently mutilating a child's genitalia is not acceptable solution to the possibility of developing a condition "somewhere down the line" that couldn't really be considered more than a nuisance.
I won't lie and say there is absolutely NO health benefit in order to prove my point, though.
