Sigh. So much ignorance.

One: the baby feels no pain. Um, what? That is PRECISELY why I posted the video. To show idiots who say things like that that they are full of censored. You tell me this baby isn't feeling pain.

Two: do you know nothing about the brain, how plastic it is, particularly in infants, and in turn the effects of massive stress on the brain? No, I figured you didn't.

Three: Aesthetics. Possibly the dumbest reason of all time to conduct plastic surgery on an infant's penis. Name another body part that you permanently change the shape of in a HEALTHY INFANT in the name of aesthetics. Absolute insanity.

Four: Cleanliness. Just absurd. Just totally absurd. First, you are cutting flesh in these poor countries and thus exposing the baby to incredible opportunities for infection. Second, most people manage to bathe across the world. If not, circumcision is the last of their concerns. ASk yourself why the only operation we do in the name of hygeine is on an infant boy's penis.

So much ridiculousness.
The baby WONT remember the pain, and nerves are not fully developed. Are you gonna tell me you won't vaccinate your baby because of the pain?
Pain part is irrelevant.
OK hotshot, since you know so much about the brain, show me how the stress of circumcision causes damage to the brain on babies.

Aesthetics: I agree it is not a good reason for me, but for other people and women (specially in the west) they like more a circumcised penis. In Europe they don't seem to really care.
And yes leaving the choice out of the person is the main reason I disagree with circumcision, plus some studies say decreased sensibility (don't know about the credibility though)
As for hygiene, if you don't shower every day YOU WILL start growing cheese inside the foreskin, and not everyone in the world can shower every day. And unless you are humping everything in sight or swimming in rivers in the jungle the chances of infection are the same for circumcised and uncircumcised

At least now you are arguing (albeit like a self-righteous censored) and not insulting god
