I’ve been totally neutral on this issue up this point. So I’ll now give my input on how I actually feel about this.
I am very much opposed to circumcision for infants. Not only do I view this as mutilation of the human body, but it is also taking away freedom of choice away from an infant. We are talking about a physical procedure being performed before the age of consent that is totally irreversible. That to me is very unacceptable.
I have actually known some men who have had circumcision voluntarily during their adulthood and that is perfectly fine. Its their choice. It wouldn’t’ be my choice. But nevertheless at least they were given the opportunity to voluntarily make that choice independently. Which is the way it should be in my view.
