Besides, this isn't a spiritual issue, it's a medical one.

In this case it is a spiritual issue.

I think you and your wife should ask a doctor,

And if the Doctor says it is a great idea. I guess your advice would be to seek out a different doctor until he found one to agree with him.

or show her one of the videos of a baby getting snipped and see what she thinks.

Have you seen a birthing video? after seeing one of those I'm surprised women still go through natural childbirth.

That said, did you have a conversation about this before you got married? I have a buddy who married a Jewish girl and she made it clear before they were married that she'd want to raise the kids Jewish, including circumcision. If your wife had the same conversation with you before you were married I think you might have to get your son snipped if you have one. (but you can still try to reason her out of it, lol)

And talking with doctors and clergy may help bring some reason to it.

Again, very few people have these conversations when courting. The only life cycle event they can comprehend is their wedding. everything else can be worked out later in the name of love!
