Uhm the benefits were a load of shit. I can speak from personal experience that hygiene is not an issue. Reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases is based on one study by Jewish (gasp) doctors. It is totally pointless and the reason i hear people give for it is "I had one so now my son will too". No one ever stops and thinks about these things. Let the person decide for themselves when they are adults. Is that too much to ask?

I am so glad I didn't have my baby cut. It's terrible. I could never do that to my baby. This proceedure is too accepted. People just think it's the thing to do. It's a jewish religious traditon and it's so popular b/c alot of jews were doc's.

Doctor Davis, you are an asshole.

what a load of shit

[trident3b]

this man is a f***ing liar, a dreadful person who does not impress me with his claok. His comment are vile and should be stripped of his "doctor title". This is outrageous. He is a classic american with hideous remarks that should put him behind bars. I am disgusted by the despicable individual.

@healthykidtips "Many good, caring doctors perform the procedure. I was required to do them as part of my residency but don't do them now."

You violated your Hippocratic oath with every unnecessary surgery you performed, whether the parents wanted it or not. You should be smart enough to know this. I pray one day that we have ethical oversight in our medicine so callous, thoughtless, unfeeling people like you aren't allowed to practice senseless violence in the name of medicine.

@healthykidtips "I am not defending circumcision, however the "nerve ending" argument is weak. Nobody knows the correlation between these numbers and actual function and sensation."

Watch that video. This man knows very well the correlation between nerves and feeling. He was circed at 18 and became essentially impotent. Isn't the sole function of nerves to feel? It would stand to reason more nerves = more feeling. Where did you go to med school? Afghanistan?

“ The five components of the foreskin that are routinely removed during circumcision are more sensitive then the most sensitive part of the circumcised penis which is the amputation scar on the ventral side.”(1)

20,000 pleasure nerves removed is a weak argument for you? How interesting? The gliding mechanism of the foreskin facilitating sex argument must be trivial for u also? Doesnt make you sound very professional when u dismiss 20, 000 pleasure nerves, and the loss of functional anatomy.

@RoseFink It's not jus for sexual perference...no one is really reading about circumcising at all to even judge the most important reason of why it should be done!

[BraveSoul85]

@40oz2freedumm not jus a jewish tradition...let's do our homework on everything 1st b4 we judge!
