Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    My own pediatrician as a child was a combat physician in Vietnam and he apparently told my parents that there is no question as to whether it should be done, having seen what he’s seen in the jungle.

    This whole “just keep it clean” assumes daily access to fresh water and soap, and that’s just not guaranteed.

    Our family physician was in agreement more recently when I had kids. I am a pretty skeptical person especially when it comes to religion, and the decision was obvious. A lifetime of cleanliness in the most sensitive area of the body is an easy decision.
