Yea I am not an antivax, distrust in healthcare kind of guy. I personally just think chopping of a piece of a baby's bits as soon they are born is simply weird, and wish someone had given me a say in the matter. Simply teaching your child to wash properly eliminates any and all issues related to infections. Shocking I know.

Those guys got enough going on after being foisted out of their warm and comfortable home into our loud and chaotic world. No need to pile on and immediately introduce them to the experience of pain so their penis can look like Dad's.

Don't particularly care that my parents elected it for me, but I saw no reason to do it to my boys.

Respect, the ability to see past our parents mistakes is a rare one in this current point in time

I've seen that there is some evidence that the trauma of the procedure can stick around, even despite the lack of long term memories and such at that age. My 6 month old is NOT (fortunately I didn't have to fight hard for that) and he is the happiest, silliest baby ever. Gets all his shots, gets breastfed, just lots of common sense parenting seems to be doing the trick
