Given that the benefits were noticed in Africa and you live in the frigid north I am not so sure you should be so happy about mutilating your son.  Besides you are going to teach him about the benefits of using a condom right?

I'm also rather wary of making irreversible and unnecessary choices on behalf of children.

Actually it can grow back if you do not roll back the foreskin and make sure it never re-adheres.

And women who are rarely get pregnant.

Who performs a chop job in such a way that it will grow back?

But those happen all the time. Sure they don't involved a minor surgical procedure, but they are still made.

I didn't do it for the health benefits though - I did it to annoy the Germans.   :cool:

Give me an example that would be equivalent of removing a part of the body.

I would think that raising a child in religion, which language you speak to them, where you send them to school, whether you read to them or not, what kind of food you feed them - all are far more important than the presence of absence of a foreskin.

I think decisions parents make about how they raise their children play a much bigger impact in their child's life (i.e. long-reaching effects that sure a person can work to overcome but not everyone does) over the presence or absence of a little piece of skin.

Yep, exactly. :hug:

Ok so you are comparing a chop job to decisions related to withholding food and education.  I think my work here is done.

From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate circumcision, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

Was your work to make yourself look crazy? :unsure:

Obviously education and nutrition (/dietary habits) play a larger role in a person's life than a little skin.
