Link? How could they study and confirm this? Babies also are delivered through the birth canal and have the umbilical chord cut. Wouldn't that be traumatizing too? (and I understand this part is not elective).

A handful of posts have suggested that it is more aesthetically pleasing, but the vast majority of respondents I have seen in this thread have made more sensible points about the promotion of hygiene and as a preemptive measure. I don't really see many people "arguing for circumcision." I see most who are not acrimoniously opposed to it arguing in favour of parental consent, which seems entirely reasonable.

Recent studies suggest it is in fact very traumatizing to baby boys and can lead to lasting changes in the brain.

I've know at least 2 people now who've had their child cut and have to take their kids to emergency later because of blood loss due to improper technique right here in Calgary hospitals.

If you choose to cut your son, you are evil. Their body Their choice is their basic human right as well.

Now that I've had more time to think about you're probably right. There really should be some sort of law against stabbing or slashing your children.

There is, isnt there? I could have sworn there was...

You must get a lot of comments about your grip during hand shakes.

The ‘against’ crowd continues to make decent points and then beat themselves up with ridiculous statements.

No lube required though.

Maybe that’s where the lube theory comes from.

“See! Look at all the lube they use!!”

The baby was kept in the machine for several minutes to generate baseline data of the normal metabolic activity in the brain. This was used to compare to the data gathered during and after the surgery. Analysis of the MRI data indicated that the surgery subjected the infant to significant trauma. The greatest changes occurred in the limbic system concentrating in the amygdala and in the frontal and temporal lobes.

A neurologist who saw the results postulated that the data indicated that circumcision affected most intensely the portions of the victim’s brain associated with reasoning, perception and emotions. Follow up tests on the infant one day, one week and one month after the surgery indicated that the child’s brain never returned to its baseline configuration. In other words, the evidence generated by this research indicated that the brain of the circumcised infant was permanently changed by the surgery.

They put a baby in an MRI as an experiment!?!? Evil.

[Coys1882]

I don't have an opinion either way but circumcising your son so you can have matching dongs with daddy is kinda weird.

So the study proved, experiencing trauma changes a person.
Would it have had the same results if they had broken the infants arm, or leg?
Something that many children do naturally over time?

I want to know if the baby consented to being subjected to multiple MRI's, if not, what Evil bastard allowed such a thing.

[OMG!WTF!]

Man you love bad information. Here's some more info for you to ignore...


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5416669/

Due to the lack of evidence concerning an alleged increase in vulnerability, we measured objective and subjective stress and trauma markers, including glucocorticoids from hair samples, in circumcised and non-circumcised males. We found no differences in long-term limbic–hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity, subjective stress perception, anxiety, depressiveness, physical complaints, sense of coherence and resilience. Rather, an increase in the glucocorticoid levels indicated a healthy lifestyle and appropriate functioning. Thus, our findings provide evidence that male circumcision does not promote psychological trauma. Moreover, a qualitative approach, the ambivalence construct, was used for the discussion, aiming at a discourse devoid of biases.

One is a completely unnecessary procedure though. not the same comparison.
