Should Boys be Circumcised?

Parents face so many difficult decisions when it comes to having a child: decisions about nursing, sleep patterns, discipline, teaching methods and, in the case of boys, whether or not to circumcise.

Yet when it comes to the health and best interest of your newborn, is circumcision the way to go?

    NO - twisting law

    Do not confuse Law with Philosophy. Ethics resides in Philosophy. If slavery was legally acceptable, would it then be ethical? According to your statement it would be.

    Your correlation to the question about ethics states: "Is non-therapeutic immunization ethical?" is a wrong correlation. A more proper correlation to your thread would be for someone to to say to you: "If you were given the Date Rape drug and then taken advantage of, a rape did not occur."
