I hold no grudges against my parents for my having the procedure done.

It never even occured to me.

After reading this thread though, it won't be long until there is a San Fran based class action against the doctors who perform this surgery, or the respective religious institutions who also endorse the behaviour. It won't, and shouldn't win, but someone will try it.

leave it to the parents, pay more attention to your own kids, leave everyone else alone.
