>>On the other hand, male circumcision is the removal of foreskin, which to my knowledge serves no particular purpose.<<
I'm no doctor but I guess, like most parts of the body, there is some reason for a foreskin to exist. Any medics out there confirm this? >> I believe most men born in the U.S. are circumcised at birth, and not for religious reasons. Any complaints from anyone?<< I'd be interested to know if this is fact true. >> Colin: are you circumcised? If yes what's your complaint? If not, what's the basis of your condemning?<< I don't know anything about Colin's 'condition', or any possible complaint or condemnation. What troubles me is that neither a newly born baby nor, I imagine, a Jewish boy, has any say in whether this operation is carried out. mike in bcn
