What I've cited is the clear international medical consensus, which is that the public health benefits of #circumcision are dubious & questionable at best. That is why not a single medical organization in the world recommends forcing circumcision on a child. #i2

It definitely stops the risk of urinary tract infections in baby boys, which can land them in the hospital.

No, it does not. Can still get UTIs.

It's essentially an argument between parental rights/ religious rights and children's rights, and realistically the medical benefits or otherwise aren't relevant, with the obvious exception of rare medical reasons.

I draw the line at parents rights when it involves permanent harm. Religious rights belong to individuals. If we use the logic of "medical benefits" we could justify cutting many other parts.

What other useless part can cause harm if left in tact?

Some think the appendix is, and it nearly killed me. Toes have less value than the prepuce, IMO, and Bob Marley died from one. Males have a higher chance of breast cancer than penile cancer. I am sure I could identify more.

And I know surgeons who insist if you are going someplace remote for a long time they would want your appendix out. Do you know the difference? Entering the body and use if anesthesia makes it dangerous. And try running without toes dip

So, your claim is that toes are more valuable than the prepuce. Many men would disagree. Some butchers use anesthetic during the amputation of the prepuce.

Are you that ignorant? Toes are limbs, have a lot of nerves, tendons, bone and help balance the body. Foreskin is just a bit of skin, in fact it can be harmful and detrimental fo some men who have too much, or have phimosis... can cause problems during intercourse even.

Foreskin has a lot of nerves, blood vessels & smooth muscle tissue. It's not just a bit of skin. It's a functional body part like any other. To destroy it is the very definition of permanent harm. No man (or woman) w/experience w/it thinks it causes "problems" - just the opposite
