Circumcision

Circumcision has been routinely performed on baby boys in the US for years--so many just assume that the procedure is beneficial, has no damaging effects and is important in a boy's personal cleanliness. However, studies are showing that none of these assumptions are necessarily true, and that it may be time for the US to join the rest of the world in leaving boys intact.
