False. As an infant, there is no painful memory retained into adulthood whereas the precise opposite is true if the procedure is performed on an adult.

The same can be stated for infant ear piercing, that it is technically bodily mutilation and should be the child's decision when s/he is old enough, yet most logical people do not make a big fuss about it when a parent pierces an infant's ears.

Irrelevant. An aesthetically pleasing penis, retaining no memory of the pain associated with the procedure, and not having to worry about boys who will behave like boys by not concerning themselves overly much with cleanliness are perfectly legitimate reasons for circumcision to be performed on infants.
