Well, I guess it's in a clearly identifiable thread that can be easily
skipped by people who aren't interested in it... I can't give you a
definitive answer to the question; I'm no medical expert. But one thing
you might want to take into account when making the decision: I saw an
article awhile back about some number of baby boys who had a
circumcision botched to the point where doctors found it necessary to
go for a full sex change operation. (It turned out badly: on reaching
adolescence, they found themselves psychologically male in female
bodies; that was the context in which I came across the article.) What
the percentage of this is, I don't know.<br>
