No, Im comparing an elective surgery to an elective surgery. If youre against one because of consent and not being necessary youre against all of them. The HPV vaccine isnt a necessity for children. ( it you should get it.) Cleft lip and other surgeries arent medically necessary for all children.

Im not the one making blanket statements to justify my opposition to something here. Im just point out its silly to make those blanket statements, which you clearly
agree with given you understand these things arent the same.

Correcting literal visible birth defects like a cleft lip results in the recipient having a measurably improved quality of life, correcting crooked teeth not only results in the same but it can also help avoid potential (and far more likely than the very rare penis cancer) health impacts (especially regarding wisdom teeth).

Vaccines prevent spread of major communicable disease and helps protect people who are immune compromised who are unable to get vaccinated, again this is not comparable to the alleged and minor benefits around circumcision as rates of penis cancer and HIV are not wildly different between North America and Europe and thus circumcision is clearly not actually a very relevant factor in those.

Of course your more recent posts seem to suggest that you're on the side you're on not because you're actually informed on the subject at all but rather you're defensive about the fact that your parents had an unnecessary cosmetic procedure done on you when you were a baby and now you're trying to rationalise it, this seems apparent from the fact that you seem incredibly ignorant about the foreskin in general.
