Just a quick thought. I saw this documentary on the subject, by a Dutch circumcised Jew, who was angry at his mother that she insisted on his circumcision. His grandmother was at the time against it. The man was very reasonable but firmly against circumcising children. His own son was of course not circumcised. Through this documentary I learned there are millions of men who resent their circumcision. To prohibit circumcision for children may look at first a ridiculous idea but at second thought it is not so stupid. I read somewhere this argument: to prohibit circumcision is like to forbid gentiles to eat pork. But that is not an accurate comparison. Nobody is forced to eat pork but millions of men were circumcised against their will.

By the way, this website was first Pro. After many complaints it seems more balanced now.
