Not to mention comparing circumsision to abdominal surgery just shows plain ignorance.
Sorry CP my mistake i forgot they use Emla cream...thats ok tho because I am sure if i had the tip off my finger cut off i would only need Emla!
Ignorant.......Hmmmm lemme think no don't get the ignorant comment.....removing something from a body is surgery be it an appendix or a foreskin.
I dont see how that can be classed as ignorance. Your appendix is useless and one day you MAY get appendicitis in the same way you MAY get an infection under a foreskin. So some people choose to have their child circumcised because when hes 75 he MAY get an infection. Your sons nob should be no concern of yours at that age! The only difference I see is that the foreskin has a job....it protects the glands of the penis. Yet some people are willing to chose to remove it. So on that line of thinking while the child is getting a circumcision lets remove his appendix as well because he MAY get appendicitis when hes 75 too.
As Sean has previously posted, we gave Pudd the choice. We made the decision not to have him circumcised because of how we feel. Our decision will not affect him for the rest of his life. Much the same as we chose not to have him christened/baptised we have given him a CHOICE. When he reaches an age he is able to make that decision for himself whether it be for religious or personal reasons I know we will stand by him 100%.
Please excuse my religious ignorance, but does it say in some religious script that you can get into the Pearly gates with a foreskin?
