Should I Circumcise my Child?

Whether or not to circumcise male babies has become a sensitive issue in the U.S. and other Western countries. As late as 1970, over 90% of U.S. boys were circumcised. However, in the past 30 years that percentage has steadily declined to 59.5% due to public outcry. There are strong arguments both for and against circumcision, and the issue remains highly controversial. What do you think?

Jun 17 '06 Please Use Common Sense.
Circumcision seems to be a touchy issue, although exactly why I’ll never know. Maybe it’s because people in general seem to lack common sense.... read full review

Feb 18 '04 Think about your son as an young man
I feel uneasy about giving a "recommendation" because I'm not in any way an expert in the field. I will say that in my OPINION, Circumcision should definitely be considered.... read full review

Feb 16 '04 Do the research.
If you've circumcised your child in the past, you're not a bad parent. If you have another boy in the future, let him make own decisions.... read full review

Don't do it. It's not in his best interest at all. Watch out for biased doctors who make a lot of money off it. Leave it alone for God's sake!... read full review

So in conclusion, don't circumcise. Learn, teach, understand and you won't have to think about, will my child have regrets that it was ever done. ... read full review
