The whole point of this post was that whenever someone brings up that they're circumcising a baby, they get brigaded by the anti-circumcision people. And that is currently happening to me. I'm going to mute notifications on this, because it's just people talking down to me

If one person makes a comment and 4 of y'all jump immediately on them, that's not the way to convince them, just saying

All of these can be avoided if your doctor isn't bad, and cousin to have herpes or some other illness that can be transmitted that way. Circumcision isn't the problem, doctors bungling them up is.
-
Even the best of doctors make mistakes. Every surgery comes with risks, including risk of death. If the surgery is totally unnecessary, which this one is, you're risking your kid's life and health for absolutely nothing. How's that ethical?
-
It is a religious practice for many people. As a Muslim, I'm going to circumcise my kid
-
What about the kid's freedom of religion? Say he grows up to follow a different faith, perhaps one that values a whole intact body (eg/ sikhism)? You'd be denying them the full experience of their chosen faith. Why should parents have that right?

1)David Reimer was forced through sex reassignment due to the botched circucmision, he committed suicide in part due to that. 2)Jonathon Conte committed suicide in his depression over his circumcision. 3)Over 100 babies die every year in American hospitals due to circumcision>>
-
So two people died because they're depressed and that's the fault of my religious practice?
-
That's just two of the most well known, thousands have, and that's just suicides, I see you chose to ignore the deaths in hospital every year, and the even worse issues with the less sterile bris, particularly metzitzah b'peh.

Sadly, most circumcision deaths are never attributed to the circumcision itself, but rather hemorrhaging blood or an infection from having an open wound in a feces-filled diaper.https://nationalpost.com/health/ontario-newborn-bleeds-to-death-after-family-doctor-persuades-parents-to-get-him-circumcised …

Seeing the replies, I can probably argue *all* surgical procedures can go wrong and end lives and are therefore wrong
