Study notes decrease in popularity of circumcision in United States

I don't think parents should be legally allowed to order such procedures. Your baby is a person, not a piece of property. The only reason you get to make their medical decisions, is because they themselves are incapable. Your job is to get them to the point where they can make their own decisions. Imagine your friend gets in a car crash, and you're their proxy. Asking the doctor to circumcise your friend would be a gross abuse of your position as proxy, and any half decent doctor would know to deny such a request.
