Circumcision

[Quovatis]

It's a silly tradition and should be banned until the boy turns 18 and can make the decision for himself. As was pointed out, it is not required for the health or safety of the baby, and is done for purely aesthetic and religious reasons.

What if a religion had a tradition that every first born should have one of their eyes taken out? Or have their pinky finger clipped off? See how ridiculous that sounds? Circumcision is no different IMHO. It's performing unnecessary and irreparable mutilation to their child and should be outlawed. I'm all for freedom of religion, but this crosses the line where it is a physical consequence rather than mental.
