Circumcision has its benefits, backed by the medical community, whether you want to accept it or not. If you cannot look past the oh, they're just hurting and marring poor infants mentality, then that is your personal problem.
There are no benefits of cutting off an infants earlobes, unless you want to provide those benefits as the medical community has them listed?
From WebMD:
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks, but the benefits are not great enough to recommend universal newborn circumcision.
Also, not to mention that removing the foreskin can reduce sexual pleasure. And that itself is just one disadvantage of being circumcised.
