I myself would not. I don't see the need for it any more, unless it has to do with your religion. People say it is for health reasons but I don't see what they could be. If I ever have a son I would not want it done to him. If he wanted it done later on in life then he would have the choice to do it, and not have it made for him. What about you, what are your feelings on this?

For religious reasons possibly. For medical reasons - well, little boys can get problems sometimes where the foreskin is too tight and then they get recurrent infections - so then, yes i would as well. There is some evidence that women who only sleep with circumcised men are less likely to get cervical abnormalities (there is controversy about that though) but that could be related to their ethnic origin as well, as many women in societies where men are usually circumcised would have fewer partners than women in other societies. But generaly, if there were no religious or medical reason for it, I would never want a child to have unncessary surgery
