I guess when talking about baby circumcision we should talk about another aspect:
Pain (or no pain) is the one thing.
But I think there is an aspect which is much more substantial:
should parents decide to remove an intact part of the skin, without asking their son? They sons cannot decide. Even if they have severe problems during their life, they have to live with that. Just because their parents made that decision.
I accept circumcision if there is a reason .... like in islam.
And, of course, in case of medical indication.
But to be honest, for me it's hard to accept infant circumcision just because "his father is circumcized, too" ---
It will be an endless discussion! There are always PROs and CONTRAs when talking about circumcision. The circumcized guys will say YES, the uncut guys will say NO ...
I just turned 29 eleven days ago ... and I decided to have my penis circumcized. This happened two month ago. And it was MY decision. Not the decision of somebody else ...
