This practice has proven not to be necessary and should be seen as equally abhorrent as female circumcision.

Would you succumb to being mutilated without your consent if you could? Why are we still male babies without their consent?

That video is horrifying! Male circumcision should be banned in All Countries. Infants can still feel pain.

I think any type of procedure with out the conset of the patient should be ILEGAL!! We are born with foreskins. Parents shouldn't be allowed to mutilate a childs body just because they feel like it. Circumsation should be ilegal!!!

Even for religious reasons, this is wrong! If GOD hadn't meant for us to have foreskin, he wouldn't have given it to us!

Infant circumision or any other medical procedure with out consent of the owner of that body is wrong. Why is it that you cant circ a girl but so many people allow this to happen to infant boys? Is it that you want him to learn that life is all about pain as early as possible?

Infant circumcision (or any other, if forced or not indisputably proven to be medically necessary) is an unforgivable violation of human rights. It is a primitive, barbarous atrocity that leaves a male mutilated and deprived for his entire life. It should be outlawed immediately and irrevocably, with severe legal penalties for anyone complicit in the butchery.

I think the way the gods made you is the way one should be. And let the choice be theirs not, yours just because "everyone else will laugh at him in the locker room" or "it's cleaner" excuses. If u teach him how to clean it, which by the way is just as easy as washing your face, it's just as clean as the next. And also the risks of botching a circumcision is there, and gods know let's not even go there. It's not a problem in any other nation besides our and those nations are just fine. Natural's the way to go. Most parents preach "Just be yourself", well let them be themselves, their WHOLE selves.

Circumcision on an infant who cannot consent to the procedure is morally wrong.
