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?

One More Mother Opposed To Infant Circumcision...
Just because it seems "everyone" is circumcising their sons doesn't make it the right thing to do. If you truly want what is best for your son, don't circumcise him...... read full review
