I believe mutilating/modifying anyone else's body, including a child, should be illegal. But that's just me.
Despite the fact that it has no demonstrable negative effects, may even have (minor) positive health effects, and is a sacred traditional and religious practice of millions of Jews and Muslims? I wouldn't choose it for myself/my child, but making it illegal seems rather extreme.
At least give the child a choice to make the decision for themselves once they hit puberty or some older age. As for the health ‘benefits’ I guess it just makes hygiene easier. I just have to be more hygienic than a standard American male :3
i remember seeing someone tell their story of getting circumcised later on b/c being uncircumcised was giving them health problems (something bout it not being able to fully retract(?), it wasn't like lack of hygiene), & the exp. of getting it done later in life making it painful

I didn’t know it could be cured without circumcision! That’s interesting
80% of phimosis can be cured by just slowly stretching the tight spot causing tissue growth through tension. Kind of like how a person who gains weight gets more skin, the tension causes the body to go into tissue growth. It's how people who restore their foreskins do that, but>>
It's also part of the problem that most people don't know about these options, and that phimosis is often caused by poor care, by forced retraction. The foreskin is connected to the glans at birth, this clears over the years, usually by puberty, but forcing it back in infants>>
2> causes scars on the inner foreskin, as the boy grows this scar tissue doesn't grow correctly and stays tight. Breaking the synechia is one of the first steps in infant circumcision, one step they don't need when doing it for an adult.
