I think the study as it stands is flawed as a means to draw conclusions about infant trauma as a result of circumcision. I am not necessarily challenging its validity as I am challenging the way it has been promoted in this thread as proof positive of a highly conjectural claim.

I agree it is a contentious issue, and in those, I generally prefer more information...which presumably is what this study is aiming to provide.

I am also interested in acquiring more information, and if this study leads to that then I am all for it. But as of now I think a responsible position to hold on this issue is that it is far from settled, and I would prefer to continue to wait before drawing a definitive conclusion about the benefits vs. detriments of infant circumcision.
