Circumcision is used as a life saving surgery, when the foreskin is just too dangerous for babies. Circumcision has been proven to be a huge prevention of STDs
Many STDs are actually completely cureable in current year, only a few are still really a life-changing problem in the first world where circumcision is prevalent. I'm not as convinced as you are that the foreskin is useless. I bet it's very useful, but as a woman I'll never know

I'm not even saying I want to ban the practice for religious reasons, or in case of medical necessity. But enough men say they were harmed by the practice that doing it prophylactically is just unjustifiable imo
-
But that men are using information that's flawed or debunked. I've seen most of my friends barely having a problem being circumcised and other men online seeing no difference. Again, the data shows no difference and these guys are just buying into the fearmongering.

I get not wanting to circumcised you son, but acting as if it's the worst thing to happen to him is dishonest. It's up to the parents and until I see actual problems to circumcision, I think it's just a non issue.
-
The data is not really conclusive on this issue, there's too much bias and bs being thrown around by both sides. The data you're citing is just as "flawed" and "debunked" as the data you don't want to accept. Stats that show correllation but not causation, biased self-reporting
-
don't pretend like any of this is settled science, the study of circumcision benefits vs drawbacks is in its infancy, sorry for the pun
-
>You got that one chuckle. Ehh, I feel like the studies I provided was good enough. But hey, I could be wrong in any moment and we find out that circumcision is bad. I still think it's a parental issue until we conclusively decide the status of circumcision.
-
I'm also not against leaving it up to the parents, provided that the entire medical industry isn't pressuring them to make the decision in a certain way when the benefits are debatable and the drawbacks obvious. I guess what my "side" needs is to push back and research more.

I am in favor of taking it away.

Only four of the most common STDs are curable, which leads HIV still being incurable and having the most damage to the body. It's still doesn't stop the fact circumcision still lowers these rates of many STDs, especially HIV.

Excuse me? Circumcision removes a highly errogenous body tissue with more than 20000 nerve endings, ridged band, etc. http://Foreskin.Life , http://ForeskinFunctions.com .
