Male Genital Mutilation: Why circumcision should be stopped

Article here. Excerpt:

'Millions of baby boys are circumcised every year in the USA. This practice of snipping off part of a baby`s pe*is, usually without anesthesia (since people have widely believed that anesthesia can be fatal to babies, and if not, that it would hurt as much to have the anesthesia done as it would to just have the circumcision done) has been around for centuries.

But recent studies have shown that, as usual, we have underestimated the senses of newborns. It`s become apparent that circumcision for babies, especially without anesthesia, is not only incredibly painful and traumatic, but it also increases the risk of choking in babies.

Then again, who really cares about the pain of the newborn? They won`t remember it anyway, right?

Actually, wrong. There are severe psychological effects associated with the trauma of a circumcision. Male circumcision is not much different from female circumcision both are forms of genital mutilation that leave a person scarred for life.'
