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.

There aren't really a lot of benefits to it, and it seems so pointless and insignificant, seeing as not a lot of people will really ever look at it, other than you and your partner(s).
