Isn't that kind of the point though? At that point it is somewhat too late. Why not let it be done then if it is a pressing need for the child?
I'm with Peanut. Seems like a pointless procedure, and while it isn't the same as female circumcision it is similar in the rationale. Why perform it when there is not a compelling reason to do so?
There are many things that could be improved in this world, I don't think anyone is making this a top issue...but I find it disconcerting how downplayed it is by some. I think it is something that bears scrutiny as it is making a permanent choice for a child for little reason (in many cases).
