Imho, parents should be able 2 decide 4 their babies whether or not 2 excercise this right.If the parents are Jewish, then the parents believe it to be best - it is not a risky procedure.I believe no1 should if their beliefs do not support it - to each his own should be appl'd here.The health benfts aren't enough 2 make it a med. neces'ty, but they r there - it lowers the risk of cerv. cancer in the partners of heterosex'l circ.d males. What's the point of coming on here to insult people?

hey 1bythesea , so, if cicumcision is okay for you boys, then you go get your clitoral hood clipped off, okay....fucking idiot.

I'd like to say thank you to the nurses of St. Vincent hospital for refusing to participate in this barbaric practice.

H.O.O.P.

Please! I am a registered nurse and the mother of two boys. They, as well as their father, are circumcised. No, it is not medically neccessary, but it does have benefits. What about all the people who get their infant daughters ears pierced

come on as a nurse you should know medically,you cannot compare removal of a boys prepuce to a girl's ear piercing.

It would be more like removing a girl's clitoral hood ,which is illegal in the USa,so yes they should both be illegal ,why be sexist?

well u can grow it back but it wont b asgd as the original

um about the fight between beragan1 and halfpound92 . beragan1 ur wrong if u get ur ears peirced u can atleast take it out and it will grow back over but when ur circ u cant its gone 4ever. EVER . plus the kids sould decide when there older not just parents assuming!!!!!!!

Hahaha! WOW! You really take this seriously, don't you? OK, so you don't think piercing is mutilation? "Mother nature" didn't put holes in babies ears. Yep, stupid "hill billy" Americans with "shit schools". Wonder why we have so many immigrants, both legal and illegal. Good luck in your quest to stop stupid Americans from circ. their sons!
