In my opinion it is a cruel and unnecessary procedure. It can do lasting damage for zero benefit. A long time friend asked me to be god father to his son, then told me he intended to have his son circumcised. We had a good long talk, including his wife, the grand parents and the surgeon - ultimately we agreed that it can be done later when he is an adult and can decide for himself.
I found it interesting that the surgeon was willing to perform the surgery but could not outline any benefits and admitted it can be harmful. ?
