My dad had a circumcision in n his 50’s, due to precancerous cells. Said it was the worst pain he’s ever been in. Strongly encouraged us to get our boys done as infants.

Penile cancer is incredibly rare. Only 1 in 100,000 men are diagnosed with it. On the other hand, 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and yet we don't involuntarily remove their breast tissue.

Some women whose families have a history breast cancer do get preventative mastectomies. Angelia Jolie did because her mom died of breast cancer. If you knew your family had the genetic predisposition for pencils cancer, surely circumcision would be a reasonable choice?

Even with a family history suggesting high risk of breast cancer, preventative mastectomy requires informed consent of the patient. Consent is the issue. Furthermore, potential health benefits of newborn circumcision are tiny at best.

Respectfully, my husband & I did consent. Parents (w/advice of Dr) make decisions for their babies. My husband had good reason to believe it was better to circumcise our son & make sure he never suffered as an adult like my husband had. Waiting would have defeated purpose.

I guess you're right. It's much better to make a defenseless infant suffer than a grown adult with the ability to prepare for such a traumatic event.

A baby heals quickly , with no memory of the event. My husband wished he could have been so lucky.

You despicable woman, you have no idea what subconscious memories an infant carries with him throughout life. I'd suggest you watch a circumcision on youtube. It's unabashed infant sexual assault and torture.

Excuse me, I can see you are passionate on this topic and that’s ok, but rudeness is unacceptable when we’ve both been polite to you. My partner was circumcised at birth to prevent phimosis because it runs in his family and he is GLAD his parents chose that for him.

I’d suggest you talk to men who have had this done as adults & men who had it done as infants & compare their impressions. I guarantee the infant circumcision was far less traumatic because it got wrapped into the trauma of birth & the person recovered from both simultaneously.
