I've always maintained that the
decision to have a
circumcision is best left up to the individual owner of the
penis is question. However, it is
NOT an
operation that should be performed on
infants or young
boys. In addition to
consent being virtually
impossible to obtain, it is
dangerous to remove the
foreskin before the
penis has fully
developed, which in some cases may take *
years*.
