I find your lack of sensitivity appalling, all of you. The issue of consent is valid. I am saddened and disgusted with the very vocal closed-minds who have taken over this discussion. Ritual circumcision has no medical reasons and is communal ritualized incest and sexual abuse of an innocent baby. More foreskins, please.
Nothing has to be traumatic at all for a newborn.
I am against male and female circumcisions, because both customs are violating the physical integrity of a healthy, non-consenting child. Therefore, both are crimes. There should be a law making circumcision compulsory at childbirth. If you want to see a real holocaust, just try making circumcision compulsory by law.
