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.
