Circumcision is God ordained since the time of Abraham and the methods they use today are very humane. I got my son circumsized and had not had one single problem. Not a peep came out of him. They gently froze the area (which was actually the worst part of it) and attached a ring around his penis then cut the excess skin off. The ring fell off in a few days and he never had a problem with it. There's still enough skin that it folds over his penis head so I still have to pull the skin back to clean it. It's just much easier now that the extra skin is gone.
