I totally agree with Michael's thoughts, almost word for word. Though I do respect that some feel that it's best for their son, or circ for religious reasons.

Michael, it seems that it's quite a simple procedure when the boy is a very young baby........but what happens if it's done when he's older? 1,2,6, or older even? Is it a painful procedure? Is the recovery more difficult? I have a friend who is thinking of having her son done when he's about 12 months. And I'm just generally curious
