It's a decision the child should make when they come of age, yes. It is their body, circumcision removes a part of it. Unless absolutely medically necessary (and I said there were circumstances where it is necessary), it should be left alone.
Children can be taught how to clean their penis. No, it won't be sterilised, but that is a strawman argument. A circumcised penis is not sterilised either. An uncircumcised penis can be clean enough to prevent most infections.
As for reduced sexual pleasure, I have studies too: http://www.circumstitions.com/Sexuality.html
I read yours, will you read mine?
As for your studies, thank you, you've changed my view. There is a legitimate medical benefit to circumcision. However, these benefits can also be given (and be more successful) with condoms and not sharing partners, so my point about it being an unnecessary procedure still stands. It is only necessary in certain circumstances.
The average male in America or the UK does not need to be circumcised at birth, if at all.
