I personally am against circumcision. I was circumcised as an infant, and no one asked me if I wanted it or not. An uncircumcised male can always have the procedure done if he ever wants it. A circumcised male can never have the procedure reversed.

I even asked a lawyer once upon a time if I could sue my parents for having me mutilated without my permission, but he said that I had no case.

@EnigmaticGeek I'm against the procedure done routinely with no cause too, but I think it's bizarre you wanted to sue your parents over it. I'm sure they weren't acting maliciously, and that was just the flavor of the times. Hell, it was considered so normal in America sometimes parents weren't even consulted.

@QuixoticSoul Well, I was pissed at them for other reasons at the time, as I recall.

@QuixoticSoul Blame American doctors, not American parents.

@EnigmaticGeek You wanted to open a can of worms American law doesn't want to get into. If your parents permit a procedure that is accepted medicine at the time, you cannot sue your parents for having the procedure done. Law prefers to defer to medicine.

@consa01 I know, and medicine is not all it's cracked up to be. Far from it, in most cases, trauma being a notable exception.
