I suggest you look at this: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/

Using the term mutilation when it is most often used in that context is absurd.

I would disagree that the foreskin performs an essential biological function, and by the dictionary definition that would not make it mutilation.

By the age you would be able to consent (between 13 and 18 years depending on country) it would be a major surgical procedure involving days or weeks of pain, not the few minutes a baby experiences.

Babies are remarkable in their ability to heal and adapt.

Calling this mutilation is absurd, I am circumcised and so is my son - it was way more traumatic for me seeing, then it was for him feeling t - many babies do not even cry.

I suggest you do a little more research on what genital mutilation really means in the 3rd world, circumcision is no worse than some injections by comparison.

There is a very valid medical reason for this - it prevents sexually transmitted diseases [1] - So much so that it is promoted for adult males by health organizations. n the other hand, the foreskin serves absolutely no medical purpose.

Most reputable mohels (specially trained people who conduct the circumcision) will use a tube to suck the blood to prevent any chance of infection.
