Infections of the kidney, bladder and urethra happen in uncircumcised baby boys at ten times the rate of circumcised boys

Ingrown toenails occur 500% more frequently in baby boys who have not had their toenails excised.

WTF?

Omigosh, that's huge! That means that, if everyone was circumcised at birth, we could save an entire... zero lives! Wow! It's almost as if we had some kind of thing that could destroy infections. Some kind of... anti-bacterial medicine.

...Seriously, this is the best you could come up with? It'll reduce the chances of an easily-treatable illness in baby boys from about 0.1% to 0.01%? At least other people try to use the phony STI studies to support a medical procedure that - undisputedly - reduces sexual organ sensitivity.

You aren't too bright are you?

One study, not yet debunked by the larger body of sane medical scientists, showing marginal benefit to surgical amputation does not justify routine neonatal genital mutilation, human rights violations, sexual oppression and torture.

Just say'in.

At $200 each circumcision, preventing one urinary tract infection would cost $40,000, "which you can treat with an $18 antibiotic; it's overkill," Van Howe said.

I couldn't agree more with this Doctor, especially when he goes on to add:

A middle ground might be to let boys decide for themselves at age 14 or 16 to become circumcised, Van Howe suggested. "You can leave this choice up to the person who has to live with the consequences," Van Howe said.

Better a easily healed infection than outright death

it does not matter one jot, infections can be cured and the only person who should make the choice is the owner of the penis.

studies make no difference because its not up to medicine or religion to renovate my unit, its down to me and me alone.

Why not remove a newborns tonsils then, those get infected far more often?
