    Sheesh.. waiting until they're born is a cheapskate option. Any mother who truly loves their daughter-to-be will give her a full makeover as an ante-natal, keyhole operation. Any mother who doesn't obviously doesn't deserve children, frankly..

    Is this mostly an Irish/catholic thing? I see it a lot up here in Belfast but only in catholic areas. I am a lowly cabby so get to see the differences in community's every day and this is something I always see and wonder about.
    Seriously Keith? Granted you've at least tried to make this account seem a little different from your previous re-regs.

    Hmm, at least there's health reasons for baby circumcision (even if they are a little outdated).
    Speaking as somebody who hasn't been through either procedure, they both seem uncalled for.

    Like what?

    It's a total myth. The only reason circumcision is necessary is if during puberty the penis grows to a size that the existing foreskin cannot accomodate.
    It's a completely unecessary procedure.
    Saying it's for hygiene purposes is akin to recommending that everyone's teeth be removed in order to eradicate gum disease and dental decay

    That's right, just because a practice is outdated, you shouldn't just dismiss its health benefits out of hand. Leeches still do close wounds for instance & who's to say that boring a small hole through your skull won't be as good as Anadin for getting rid of a persist headache.

    I've never seen it done here, though it's very common in Spain from what I've seen.

    It'd be standard here and I have to say I love it. Their norms are becoming my own, I think. The Spanish are great parents generally but I suppose they do it for aesthetic reasons. I know it's putting your kids through unnecessary pain but the pain is over in a sec. I think it looks very cute but yeah, I can see why many people would be against it.

    Indians are quite fond of it. It's not as bad as male genital mutilation though.
