Another Circumcision thread

[RobertE]

I'll make it short and sweet. The choice of being circumcised needs to be done by the child himself (or in Islam by both the boy and girl) and not by the parents. We know that circumcision is everyday practice amongst the Jewish people and the single-largest group; Muslims. However, I feel that the parents are pushed into it either because it is part of their culture or religious practice or, they are being scaremongered through magazine articles about infected uncut (to borrow rythyms saying) peens. As far as I'm concerned, being cut doesn't equal clean. I mean, if you have watched some porn movies, there are quite a few 'Uncut" men who have been infected or have died whilst indulging in the porn industry. Of course, it could have been outside of his place of work, but again, smashing the back doors of 3 women at the same time whilst cut doesn't do anyone any favours. Back to the point, let the child decide, just like we should about religion or politics.
