The point isn't about whether people who had been circumcised as children care or not, it's about whether it's right for parents to cut off a functionally important and valuable piece of skin off their baby's penis when the baby cannot consent. It's clear to me that, short of medical necessity, this is wrong (especially that this is more about the parents and tradition than it is about what is really beneficial to the child). And I hope sometime soon it will become illegal (with medically-based exceptions) because there is generally no good reason for it and it's a violation of the child's body. Even that link clearly stated that the benefits don't outweigh the risks. And that's probably them playing politics. Because, you know, America.
