I know everyone has a different opinion about this, but based on her own experiences of what she's seen and dealt with, she's very much in favor of circumcision.
According to her, when a man is young and sexually active, a circumcised penis stays cleaner and thus reduces the chances of spreading STD's or giving a woman UTI's. When they are older and can't clean themselves as well (or at all), having an uncircumcised penis increases their own chances of infections. She says she's had to have several of her elderly patients circumcised because of this. And that while it's a quick and simple procedure when it's done on a baby, when it's done on a grown and mature penis, it is a lot more severe.
My take is that there are pros and cons to both sides. When a parent is faced with the decision to either cut or not cut their baby boy, they must weigh the benefits of both options and do what they think is best for their son.
...That's really all there is to it. All this hate and anger being thrown to parents who choose differently from what you would have chosen, and calling them bad parents or horrible people, is very uncalled for imho.
Bolded is mine.
This depends on when she first experienced dirty peens. We have advanced in technology, we have advanced in cleanliness, in fact too much, so much so it is becoming an obsession.
So, according to your mother in law. She may have seen a few, but not a great deal. This would be the ideal eyewitness fallacy. Unless you have seen it for yourself then it has to be treated as hearsay, regardless of what job she does. In what society do hospitals/hospices/carehomes have the right to to do this. The elderly have done nothing to warrant such a butchering, when most, if not all don't have their faculties thus, immediate family should have been spoken to. If this wasn't done, then this surely is an illegal practice. If she couldn't handle the idea of picking up a penis with gloves on, then she is in the wrong job. Circumcising the elderly is not showing compassion.
So, with that being said, it is all down to hearsay and opinion, and you have summarised it as:
Uncut penis: Dirty and is prone to giving STDs or UTIs.
Cut penis: Very clean, not prone to STDs or UTIs.
