Should a parent not be allowed to have a child’s tonsils or adenoids removed if they cause chronic discomfort? The preponderance of the medical evidence says that circumcision prevents infection and disease.
I’m sure it’s much better to leave judgement to the government and children. Who basically have the same understanding of the world as you do.
Sorry. Meant for greysard.
A discomfort is a medical case, and it should be discussed with the family doctor. The doctor then will explain what can be gained and what can be lost if the child is subjected to the surgery.

If the child has a medical problem of that kind, it should be dealt with in a medical way (see above.) If the child does not have a problem, leave him the $^*# alone. We don't cut up newborns to remove appendix, tonsils, or whatever else someone declares to be unnecessary. Most people live happily all their life with those organs - which, actually, have a purpose.

No. That’s maiming the child. And not surgery either.
You have absolutely no idea what my “understanding of the world” is.
