I don't know anything about it to say. I don't even know if it is or is not legal. But if it was legal, and if it was something that was medically practiced as circumcision is, and parents chose to do it for the reason that they thought it'd be best for their child, I wouldn't judge them as bad parents or horrible people for it.
Though I still feel like we're comparing apples to oranges here. At least to me, there's a difference between major surgery and cutting off a couple centimeters of skin. Obviously a line is drawn somewhere between what is and is not reasonable, otherwise everything can become a slippery slope.
Should it be legal, though, in your opinion?
This isn't apples and oranges. This is the same level of choice attributed to the same people. Both parts of the body in question are arguably as important.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
