Circumcision?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of circumcision.

But if you'd like a serious answer:

Circumcision is a surgery of recent controversy.

People who support circumcision argue that circumcised males can practice better hygiene and are at lower risk of developing cancer of the penis or urinary tract infections. They may also have a decreased risk of developing foreskin problems such as phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin) or paraphimosis (retracted foreskin that cannot be put back into place). Two conditions commonly occur with the foreskin of the penis of an uncircumcised or improperly circumcised boy or man.

Phimosis: One condition happens when the foreskin cannot be retracted (pulled back) behind the head (glans) of the penis. This is called phimosis. It is usually a condition found in children.

Paraphimosis: The other condition, paraphimosis, is somewhat the opposite—the foreskin, after being pulled back, becomes trapped and then swollen behind the head (glans) of the penis.
The swelling is caused by the blockage of blood flow, which can lead to death of the glans.
This condition is considered a true medical emergency. Circumcision at birth or revision of a prior circumcision can prevent this condition.

Those opposed to circumcision argue that it is cruel, that few medical benefits are proven, that circumcised males will have decreased sexual feeling due to removing the sensitive foreskin, that it unnecessarily exposes male infants to potential complications, and that children have rights.
