Perhaps there are marginally better physical health benefits, but there has to be better preventative and treatment techniques for possible problems down the road than infringing on a persons bodily autonomy.

It's hard enough even having to watch them get a needle. We just took our little one in for her first vaccine shots and it took every little bit of restraint not to grab her and make a run for it... lol.
If I had a son that was going to get circumcised, I would have been half way to Mexico by the time anyone realized we were gone.
