I think that this is ultimately not that big of a deal. From a health standpoint, I've had people say one is good or bad, but knowing people with both they honestly seem fine either way. People talk about mutilation of a child, but I've never met someone who is circumcised who feels and memory of pain or regret. There's an aspect of consent, which is more compelling, but honestly parents make so many decisions much more important for their kids than that all the time. If they want to, sure. If they don't, sure. It doesn't always have to be right or wrong
Believe in it? It exists.
I don't know there's something just not right with genital mutilation being done before one even develops a conscious mind.
Just because the herd does it, doesn't make it ok.
The implications could be as serious as a hardcore christian parent for example who installs deep seeded world views & beliefs of hellfire, torture, etc if their child does or doesn't do this that or the other thing.
Although from personal experience with uncir-vs cir, i wouldn't know never been uncircumsized while having a conscious mind developed, it's not something that can be taken back. So there's nothing i can compare it to. But if it's like anything else in this world, it's probably a bad thing.
I don’t think it’s inherently harmful to circumcise a baby as long as it’s done professionally and with pain relief, so I voted yes. But I also think that since babies cannot decide or consent to this elective procedure, I would refrain from doing it with my own hypothetical kids unless there was a health reason. Only if they are able to consent to be circumcised and they truly want to, would I sign off.
Nah circumcision shouldn't even be a thing. It's ridiculous to cut off a healthy functioning part of the body for no reason.

It's barbaric, and all the women who voted that they support it should be ashamed. This is LITERALLY male genital mutilation. It's boys that will be future men that are potentially scarred for life having their sexuality permanently affected. No woman has any business in deciding a males future sexuality.
I do believe it feels better because I was circumcised at a conscious age that I can tell the difference. It feels cooler and easier to clean and I'm open about it but not for new borns who can't decide yet.
Yes, you can read about it in the new book entitled
"Circumcision Made Easy" by Dr. I. Cutcherpekeroff
I think it has several benefits. I am of the opinion that it should be used as a rite-of-passage (I'm still to undergo that aspect). It looks better and feels more hygienic.
I heard it makes sex less enjoyable, in case that's true, I think I'm good
Yes, I think it’s beneficial. It’s something that’s personally important to me.
It's a thing. I don't think it's a good thing.
Genital mutilation is wrong.
It’s genital mutilation.
