Yes, exactly. An honest discussion of any medical intervention involves both risks and benefits. I’d like to see the studies showing harm.

No. The procedure can be justified if benefits outweigh the risks, even if “unnecessary.” There are risks associated with not circumcising too. And your video is an anecdote, not a real risk/benefit analysis.

If you are making a statement that is in direct opposition to the consensus of experts, it’s on you to provide evidence for your claim.pic.twitter.com/A087qsc2dO

You’re still arguing like an antivaxer, with anecdotes and false analogies. Real medical evidence please. Links by

Glad you found helpful. It’s relatively sparse literature medically b/c as noted above it’s just not done most post-industrial places and where it is done, it’s purely culture/religion. Only in last 60 yrs in US has medicalized and is understudied so your q’s are harder to answer

I don’t have a hard line position on this. I think it should be left up to the baby’s parents, and either choice is reasonable. It would take some good medical evidence to convince me that choosing circumcision is actively harmful.

Well, consider that the foreskin is healthy and functional tissue. It’s removed - that’s harmful if you value fully functioning penis (glans covered, gliding skin during sex, etc.) Removing healthy tissue is very radical. I would submit the more radical position needs justified
