MEDICAL BENEFITS FROM CIRCUMCISION
http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Park/6443/Circumcision/circumcision.html

Read the part under "Anti-circumcision lobby groups" to see what kind of people are behind such efforts.

And the same hysterical folks--many who have sexual identity problems among them--lie about the "AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS: Circumcision Policy Statement," the Abstract of which begins, "Existing scientific evidence demonstrates potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision;..."

The balance of evidence leans toward the benefits of circumcision, and there certainly is not enough reasonable (as opposed to hysterical rants) evidence against it to suit neo-Nazis and homosexual activists by outlawing it.

My two sons had circumcisons. It's healthier.

That site was last updated in 1999. Much evidence has come out since then that shows how beneficial it is to leave the protective foreskin intact (as well as the benefits for marital relations... :-)

Additionally, it has been discovered that babies who were circumcised are much more sensitive and fearful of pain of later vaccinations.

How about letting the kids choose for themselves when they get older whether they want to mutilate their bodies or not?

I beg to differ. Some reasonable people do not think Circumcision is necessary or beneficial and not all are from fringe groups. There has been a move in the last ten years not to circumcize. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend routine circumcision. Some Jews don't recommend or do it. Whether it is any more protective than routine hygiene is debateable.

I am not going to engage in an argument about this, just wanted to point out that people differ, reasonable people differ.

The male body was not designed to be circumcised. Neither by evolution nor by God. It was created to have a foreskin.

You're efforts to slander "anti-circumcision" lobbyists against this Judeo-based barbarism is repugnant. Circumcision is a scandalous practice no free, thinking, sovereign human being with rights to life and liberty, endowed by his Creator, should accept nor practice on his sons.

Dr. Dean Edell is anti-circumcision, and I have great respect for him as a Jew and as a doctor. Do your own research instead of finding a few people you don't like to discredit the opposition. Also check and see how much money is made by those who favor circumcision. How would anyone benefit from being "anti" circumcision?

I don't want to discuss sex here, but please do, instead of dismissing it, read this info (available all over the web) about what purpose a forskin has. The link below is about the sexual function. I know most American men are circumcized, so please don't take this as an insult. BUT when you cut off a child's foreskin, you are reducing his sexual sensation and his wife's pleasure as an adult..

Better yet to leave the nature and God's way alone.
