i would get any sons i have done, for several various reasons. the benefits for and against getting it done basically balance each other. but the reasons i would do it are religion (although not a pre-requist for catholism, it is still a common practice), heigene (although granted, a boy does not need to be done to be hygenic), to be like his father and all other extended family and because their is less risk of complications and research has demonstrated that any pain exists for a lessor period of time when they are circumcised at a younger age, then if left till later.

i can certainly understand why many parents would choose not to have their children done. it is a parental decision that should be made on an individual basis for each family and child.

i have however been astonished at the reactions of some of those people when i admit that i would do it. i have often been met with hostility, being called a child abuser and had people who try to liken male circumcision with female circumcision, which i consider to be completely different and beyond comparision.
