Mutilating baby boys is one of the worst medical practices still perpetuated today. If you are considering doing this at least just wait until your son is old enough to understand the consequences.

I love it when the people that don't get their kid circumcised come in with infections, cause they don't know or care to pull down the foreskin...or if it gets inflamed get phimosis and then need to have some forceps crammed into the opening in order to dilate the meatus.
