Statistically, there hasn't been any convincing argument for circumcision as a benefit, health-wise.


In Europe, barring the Muslims and the Jews, barely anyone performs this. In the US, it is a widespread practice.

But the rates of infection and the like are near identical, if not lower, in Europe, IIRC.

What about the recent studies linking reduced rate of HIV infection in those that are circumcized?
