Slapped on the face...Where on earth did you get that from??? I've never heard of a baby being slapped anywhere but on the butt, and then only is S/he's not breathing.

Enough studies were done to prove conclusively that babies feel pain being circumsized, which is why it can no longer be done without anesthesia. As for you "not remembering" it....You are aware that some patients undergoing psychiatric care have been hypnotized or otherwise regressed to birth and even (supposedly) a month or so prior to birth. It is possible that at least some men circumsized w/o pain relievers were traumatized by this, even if they don't remember the pain consciously . In any case, I will take the word of the many health care professionals who did the studies as to the barbarism of the earlier methods .

I guess my doctor must have missed.

So now we know for sure that they don't feel ANY pain. Case closed.

As for you "not remembering" it....You are aware that some patients undergoing psychiatric care have been hypnotized or otherwise regressed to birth and even (supposedly) a month or so prior to birth.

Ah yes. The famous Roseanne Barr psychiatric regression. Is this the same "scientific" study where she found out that Baby Roseanne was molested by her father? As I remember Roseanne's father was smeared due to Roseanne believing in a quack.

It is possible that at least some men circumsized w/o pain relievers were traumatized by this, even if they don't remember the pain consciously .

You're pinning your evidence on an awful lot of unconcious feelings here.

In any case, I will take the word of the many health care professionals who did the studies as to the barbarism of the earlier

The same health care quacks who regressed Roseanne to her babyhood? Or perhaps the ones who regressed Shirley McLaine to her pre-birth life?
