80 % of the world is not circumcised. That’s the majority. Not liberal.

Yes it is not liberal to be held down and have the penis cut off.

Circumcision is not cleaner. It is bloody, dirty, unnatural and unsafe.

I am not ignoring anything. The World Health Organization says that circumcision is not for everyone. It has been proved that cicumcision does not reduce UTIs.

I am chosing to ignore you because you know hell of a lot. You love sexual mutilation and you know how to design a penis better than nature or god. You are an ultra orthodox …………..

I agree with you 100%. You have said it better and in fewer words. Sorry for my academic style. Sometimes it becomes too many words to say a few things because one wants to be politically correct.

The USA is the only developed country that circumcises the majority of its sons. About 60% still fall victim to this bizarre practice which cannot be in any way justified. In some European countries the practice is now outlawed.

The glans is designed by nature to be an internal organ. Why internal, well like the inside of your mouth and female labia, it’s supposed to remain moist membrane. When the foreskin is removed the chaffing against clothing turns the glans into dried out skin.

Yes, there is a heavy price to be paid for destroying the foreskin.

This is an academic view. Jews and Molems are free to choose their own life styles, rituals and beliefs.

Studies do not support the view that circumcision is better. The United Nations (World Health Organization) discourages circumcisions.

I could not agree with you more.

The argument that circumcision prevents UTI is not true. My studies show that circumcision is more harmful then non-circumcision. I agree with you, “leave the foreskin unless there are compelling medical reasons”.

Thank You for reading and commenting on this article. I agree with you on some issues and strongly disagree on others.

I wrote a response but then chose to write a separate article because my response became too long.

You may read my responses at: http://www.healthmad.com/Conditions-and-Diseases/Circumcision-Debate-Continues.192765 I would love to continue the debate.

In some societies it is performed as a religious ritual.

It is difficult to get society to change.
