If a study inflicts a small amount of trauma to potentially end a much larger and widespread trauma is that not a gain? Pretty weird thing to fixate on. Worry about the trauma of being strapped down for an mri but not the trauma caused by cutting off part of their genitalia. Especially given that most people here seem to think that since they are a baby they won't remember it and it is therefore a nonissue.
Do you have any other ideas on how they can try to quantify it?

Not really, no. And while in principle I can see the potential benefits of such a study, I am highly sceptical of its validity.
I continue to maintain that this is a difficult issue with no obvious solution until risk/benefit analyses are more conclusive. In my opinion, the MRI study does nothing to change that.
