Which can happen with any procedure. You say that not being circumcised has never killed any babies. One: you purposely phrased that to avoid the fact that circumcision is known to lower the risk of penile cancer, HIV, and spreading HPV (which kills women mostly.) Two, there are reports of UTIs (another thing that being circumcised helps prevent, especially at a young age) killing babies due to not being circumcised, although this is also very rare. In one (admittedly pretty old) study, the studied group had two deaths from that, and none in the circumcised group. its clearly more complex than youre making it out to be. My information on neonatal deaths is from here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240804903_Lost_Boys_An_Estimate_of_US_Circumcision-Related_Infant_Deaths Every medical procedure carries risk for a variety of reasons. That's precisely why you don't do them without very good reason. Slightly easier washing and looks nicer to some are not very good reasons. Penile cancer is vanishingly rare in men under the age of 80. The likelihood of circumcision saving you is less than the chances of death by complications. As others have pointed out, nations that do not routinely circumcise are not characterised by significantly higher rates of penile cancer and STDs. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. <cite>ai123 posted [p:979265027] in To circumc...
