Re: Circumcision
My USC wife had no problem with not putting her baby boy through unnecessary pain and suffering. It was easy for me, but her catholic friends insisted on their kids being done. We had our boy at a catholic hospital, hence maybe the big push to convince us.
I think Catholics just have a thing about small boys.

Pretty is not the first word that springs to mind, I have to be honest.

Re: Circumcision
WHO | Male circumcision for HIV prevention
"There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%. Three randomized controlled trials have shown that male circumcision provided by well trained health professionals in properly equipped settings is safe. WHO/UNAIDS recommendations emphasize that male circumcision should be considered an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention in countries and regions with heterosexual epidemics, high HIV and low male circumcision prevalence."

As I said, if you throw enough darts, you're bound to get something to stick. Either way, if you live in a country with an HIV epidemic are you going to play Russian Roulette with that 60% reduction rate, or would you rather just use a condom?

None of which apply to the US.
