Are you for or against circumcision of babies? Please explain your answer a little bit.

Against. I didn't do that to my son for the same reason I didnt pierce my daughter's ears. Its not my body.

I am unless their is a significant medical reason to do so. If its for aesthetic reasons (and I include faith reasons in that) I circumcision should be decided by the person who has to go through it.

Against, it's mutilation of their bodies without consent, it decreases sexual pleasure, it often gets botched, they often do it without anaesthetic which makes it extremely painful and traumatic for the baby, I think the claims of benefits of circumcision are dubious and just used to excuse the status quo, etc.

No. That's inhumane treatment imo. They can make that decision for themselves once they're grown and old enough
