I circed both my boys, my first child I just went along with what my husband wanted(his Grandpa paid for it, $100 in 1999 BTW). My second I actually did my research and decided the benefits of circ outweighed the risks(the WHO, Unaids report came out about that time), so I went ahead with it. As a woman I don't really care one way or another sexually/looks speaking so long as they keep it clean, but as a mother I do care and am not daft enough to assume(even though I tell them it is important) my boys will use condoms every time they have sex.
Extreme risks like the OP are actually very rare(far less than 1%), so I do think it should be left up to the parents, or if the parents so desire the child when he is old enough to make the decision for himself. I also do not class the complications as any different then if the doctor was preforming any other medical procedure.. so what ever happens during say a botched removed appendix should also apply to a botched circ.
