Strongly against. It's abusive and a Human rights violation. As for it being "personal choice" yes, it is- the personal choice of the boy who owns the penis! Nobody should have the right to amputate another persons body parts prophylactically. In the US its considered "cosmetic surgery", the ONLY cosmetic surgery allowed on unconsenting infants. there's a reason you can't choose to give your prepubescent child breast implants or a face lift, even if it "looks better" or they are getting "teased" because they have a funny face or small boobs. Its not legal in any other case, and it certainly shouldn't be allowed on the genitals of male children. -Neb

I say do it because being uncircumsized these days is not the norm, it will scare girls and get stares in the locker room.

A human rights violation? Do you realize that uncircumcised men are MORE likely to spread AIDS than circumcised men? The last time I checked, AIDS is a pandemic.

I was circumcised, and I don't know anything different. But I'd say in modern times we have soap, thus we shouldn't mutilate our children.

to each his own, people need to not be so concerned with and try to control what other people choose to do.

I am and no big deal. Being slaughtered with a machete is a human rights violation, being circumcised is decidedly less important than that in my opinion.

i say do it, girls think its nasty if its not snipped. i thanked my boyfriend's mom for making the right choice.

amen.

I wouldn't worry about getting the stares in the locker room...

I've even talked to girls who said that couldn't really tell that a certain penis was not circumcised. They just noticed that it looked different.

Do whatever you want, though.

well I think it looks kind of weird and people will state but when it comes to the basic need of it,it doesn't matter a bit

looks prettier and a lot cleaner

Its an ancient unnecessary mutilation of an unwilling child. Female circumcision is hideous and anyone carrying it out should be shot. Male circumcision is mostly pushed by the religious, and while a thousand years ago it may have had a benefit due to poor sanitation, now days its completely pointless and still endangers the child (eg no surgery is perfectly safe, infections or mistakes can and have ruined peoples lives).

Look at it this way. For Judaism all Abraham had to do was curcumsize himself. For Christianity Christ had to let himself be killed. I'd rather go circumcision. Personally, I am Jewish and like being cut. I think anyone who thinks it is wrong is stupid and ignorant over the reasons why. The only thing you should be able to say about it is your preference of cut and uncut. Not whether it is right or wrong. Circumcision will be continuing for years and years until maybe zombies take over and don't even use their penises.

From what I've seen when this topic comes up, not many people are familiar with the concept of human rights. If they are, not all would give a child the same rights (or dignity) as a grown individual. I say that assault and battery on a child is still assault and battery

Many guys who were circumcised think it's no big deal because where it happened to them it was considered a routine practice, and assume that this makes it morally acceptable.

Circumcision not only is a lot cleaner, but it's also a lot more attractive to a girl.

I am very pro! I was circumcised at 18 and know the anti sites only post BS! The loss of sensativity is such a crock, the post that to make cut guys feel bad! Circumcision improves sex! I would do it again in a NY minute! It is cleaner and healthier for both partners! I had no hesitation to have my sons (1&3) snipped when they were born as I know there is no downside only an upside! Being circumcised is really the only way to go through life!

i dont think its really a human rights imposition in the same way tribal female genital mutilation is but at the same time it is a removal of a body part without the persons consent

but if judaism views the male human body as being normal and complete without the foreskin then in a way thats there perogative

my culture has a different view of what constitutes a normal human male form but it isnt necessarily any more valid than one that snips the hood off of your knob

i think providing somethings got cultural, historical and spiritual relevance and the imposition on the unconsenting human doesnt cause any pain or trauma in the long term then alls well

plus there are medical benefits
