Really surprised to see the reaction here to this. Maybe because the article inflames people, but really not everyone who chooses to get this done for their children are barbaric monsters looking to mutilate their children for little or no informed reason.
I did a ton of research for my first son, and talked to several very respected local pediatricians for their candid take. You know the kind of people who value science and child well being. Both of them have got this procedure done for their children. They both endorse it. Religion had nothing to do with either of their endorsements, and I am not a very religious person.
Folks on here who are fathers and have not got it done I respect your opinion. Those who aren't fathers, your opinion is about as relevant to me as those "when I have a kid..." people. Just don't treat people who have done this for their children, as some kind of ignorant negligent morons. Not everyone is, and maybe take some time to read the arguments on the other side before demonizing a group you have no idea about.
