Do you feel that parents should have the option to choose circumcision for their son at birth? Please leave your reasons why or why not!

And to reiterate my point - You couldn't even remove a corpse's appendix without permission. There are laws against it. Hence, corpses have more bodily autonomy than infants.
-
Perhaps. Their argument about the bodily autonomy had something to do with "outie" belly buttons actually being better but nobody bitches about a closer cut on the umbilicus. It's been awhile since I had this argument with them.
-
Interesting. I'd have to look that up. I thought outies were a result of a hernia, are not considered serious, and usually don't need further attention. I'm not sure about what parallels it has to circumcision though.

The foreskin has multiple functions. I had my appendix removed at 15. I have never missed it. It was trying to kill me. Perhaps we could raise the standard we set for removing the foreskin. There are many men that wish they could have their foreskins back.
-
I live in Australia. Last I heard we are at less than 10% infant males circumcised. And we don't have an epidemic of aged 16+ men looking to get circumcised to stop the rampant infections and cancers Americans seem to think will occur if they don't stop cutting foreskins off.

The sex is better, for both partners, with uncut dick too. Just saying. I'd hate to be responsible for reducing the quality of my son's future sex life (as little as I try to think about that).
-
Debatable, but I don't have a frame of reference. Anyone who got trimmed AFTER fkn wanna weigh in here?
-
From the female perspective, I can say that I vastly prefer intact, and there are studies that indicate I'm in the minority, although I'd have to hunt them down.

Found an article that has some studies: In one, which mostly included men seeking circumcision for health problems such as phimosis, balantis and condyloma, 32% of participants reported problems, including a decrease in erectile function and sensitivity (J Urol 2002; 167:2113–6)
-
In another study, 20% of circumcised adults said their sex lives had worsened and 48% reported a decrease in pleasure from masturbation (BJUI 2007; 99:619–22).

This is an image of cut vs uncut. You can see the keratinisation on the left that forms as a type of callous, to protect the glans. On the right, the foreskin provides that protection leaving the glans soft and sensitive.pic.twitter.com/D4nBHQ08RH
