Let's boil this down for Clive:
1. Circumcision is usually performed on infants who cannot give consent for no other reason besides religious or cosmetic purposes.
2. Circumcision is a permanent change to the body.
3. Circumcision is incredibly painful. Arguments that the pain will not be remembered are irrelevant. It's an infant, no one remembers their infancy.
4. Circumcision is unnecessary.
If the child does not NEED a circumcision (for the rare instances they are needed, such as the foreskin completely covering the head of the penis so the infant can't urinate properly), it's fucking child abuse that everyone accepts because "tradition". Furthermore, how do you feel about female circumcision? It's all genital mutilation.
The child gets no say in a unnecessary procedure that will remain with him his whole life. If the child wants a circumcision, he may wait until he is old enough to sign his own consent forms.
