medically required? dohhh It's healthy, I dunno what the religion has to do here, I saw many christians do it. (there was poll on some sex programme on TV ) I am, and I would do it to my child probably, I dont even remember now the pain and all that. I do remember that I was in hospital with mum, thats all.
I'd never do that to any of my progeny. The fact it happened to me doesn't mean I would do it to them, and I wouldn't marry someone who wasn't okay with that. So to hell with everyone.
In fact, circumcision has evidence supporting both sides of the argument and they are both equally potent. It's always been: 1 trusted source says it helps against diseases Then: 1 trusted source says it doesn't help Anyways, I don't know why we would have it if it was only bad for our health. The reasons that foreskin is believed to be there is to protect the head of the penis from dusts etc - and to maintain maximum sensitivity in the area. - Also, for the sake of having liberty and rights - don't circumcise the kid until he is able to choose for himself. Also, let him choose for himself and simply tell him to research about it rather than reciting a bias story.
I am all for liberty, but this is a tricky one. Many people vaccinate because they believe it's medically required... I feel that way about circumcision
