Many would say circ makes the skin thicker so which is it? My husband was a part of the decision, in fact he is the head of house. He was circumcised. He has a scar. If you have pain seek a doc it can be fixed. Circ complications as rare as intact complications

Did you just make up that 'fact' about circ complications being as rare as intact complications? Let's see your data sources. Many circ complications don't manifest themselves till puberty and are not recorded. Nobody died from being left intact. Babies die from being circed.

People can be hurt from intact complications - which is why circumcision is the remedy in adulthood for phimosis and others. No fact of circ complications as rare are recorded and available. Do a google

I don't need to Google. Complications with intact foreskins are pathology. When there is pathology, treatment is appropriate. However most pathology can be treated via non invasive means. Circumcision is always a last resort in intact cultures and therefore extremely rare.

Performing irreversible reductive surgery on healthy infants without pathology is unethical. Doctors in developed countries outside USA do not recommend it or perform it routinely. There are significant risks up to and including DEATH. European Doctor:https://youtu.be/82uAAJZ2nXA

It’s not unethical, almost never dangerous in US, and is a great tradition

The vast majority of doctors in the developed world disagree with you and all the money-motivated quacks in America who pay for their Hawaii vacations and Mercedes with blood money. Performing unnecessary, irreversible surgery on healthy children IS unethical.

Circ hardly costs more that a routine visit - when done in infancy. As an adult, it’s 10x that. It’s elective so usually they don’t give pros and cons unless asked they just ask do or do not

None of that goes to BSR's point: non therapeutic child #circumcsion violates the cardinal principles of medical ethics.
