If that baby screaming at the beginning of the video doesn't make you think twice about this, I don't know what will.

I do have to say though, the guy's arguments after that part are not completely satisfactory IMO. He mentions some vague theory that circumcision is linked to autism and ADHD. Unless he can prove that, I think it's bullshit, even as someone who is against circumcision. If you want to make a good argument, stick to the facts. Don't pull this Jenny McCarthy-type shit.

The stuff about women's preference in sexual relationships and all that, it seems a little overdone. Maybe it's because I'm too lazy to actually try to look studies about that, but I think it's a little far-fetched.

But the material on behavioral changes, and how the infants can feel pain or even into traumatic shock is a big deal to me. I would not want to willingly subject my son(s) to that.
