Circumcision of infants, should it be allowed?

Since we seem to be permitted to discuss thing like this I thought I'd make a thread on this. Do you think that parents should be allowed to have their child circumcised while they are still an infant? I personally don't think they should, the child can't consent to this and it's kind of violating his bodily integrity. An arguments I hear is "religious freedom" but doing this to a non consenting child could well be a violation of [i]their[/i] religious freedom because they could grow up to be an atheist for all we know. Basically I think it shouldn't be allowed to be done to children who are unable to consent. Once you're at legal adult age then sure you can do it if you really want to, it's your body.

  • I'm uncircumcised, I really don't even know what to make of that honestly, feels like the "circumcision/uncircumcised" debate is just a way to say you're better than someone else in that way. As for doing it to infants, it should be their choice when it's involving a religion they might not even care about, otherwise parents don't really have any business lopping it off because of what they believe.
