I disagree, but not for the reason you may think. I agree that circumcision done in infancy takes the decision out of the child's hands. However the procedure is painful, but the child will never remember the pain. Now don't cut the child and let him do it at adulthood, if he chooses? Unless it's for medical reasons, very few men will do it, even if they'd like too, because it's now an operation. Very young kids get their tonsils out in some areas almost as a mater of course to prevent sore throats and tonsillitis. Their parents make that choice not them. Ever had a teen told you are taking his tonsils out? He will fight you every step of the way, at the mere thought of a painful operation. So my contention is that if you don't get your child cut, you have made the choice for him all the same, as he won't do it when he's old enough if he wants it, because it then becomes a costly painful operation.
Totally agree with all you say here. In Britain very few babies are circumcised and theyoften need it in their teens which is painful and embarrassing
