Quote:There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:
A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men.
Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.
Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).
Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).
Far enough, if there's evidence that it's a positive medical procedure so be it (though the 'prevention of foreskins problems' part seems silly, since they're removing the foreskin). I'm still on the fence about letting parents make that choice though.
