It was hard to read that article Dr. Mom posted but it is the truth...circumcision is a barbaric act and there is no doubt in my mind. I was circumcised and my foreskin is particularly tender to the touch around the area where it was cut. I think the doc got some nerves or something but I'm not for sure. I think the moral of the story is keep your child away from the docs because they are just bad news with their vaccines and circumcisions. Most mothers have an instinct to protect their children and this is a great honor and responsibility.
