Overall Statement: Medical Proof of Circumcision Benefits by Edgar J. Schoen, MD, FAAP

Compelling medical data much of it accumulated in the past 2 decades, have conclusively shown that a boy circumcised as a newborn has multiple lifetime health advantages compared to one with an “intact” foreskin.

Even the posted article acknowledges there are benefits--it just tries to say they are insigificant. But risk lies in the eyes of the beholder. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for circumsizing me after I was born. Any simple procedure that can reduce the odds of my johnson falling off, even a little, is a significantly beneficial procedure to me.

In fact, the risks of various diseases in the link you provide are high enough that if the USEPA were in charge of this decision, they'd ban the foreskin quicker than they banned DDT.

Since 80% of U.S. men have been circumcised, I expect that 8 out of ten replies here will be for it.
