I wasn't cut and apparently my folks had problems with me being unbearable because of an infection, so they did cut my younger brother.
I refused to have my son cut, and not because, as someone earlier mentioned, I wanted him to look like me. I have heard all the debates, mainly focusing on "cleanliness" and I am simply going to teach my son the importance of soap.
If I brought my daughter into a doctors office and asked for a female circumcision, they would refuse.And rightfully so, butI am dumbfounded why they don't do the same for people who bring their sons in to have a similar brutal procedure done to them.
If my son ever asks about it later, I will say I wanted to let him have the choice himself. I am pretty positive he won't cut it when he's old enough to make the decision and will be glad I didn't do it when he was born.
