I personally am not on one side or the other, I only presented the information so everyone can be more informed, which should be the ultimate goal of this discussion.
I agree that was a biased article, but almost all research articles/studies are biased in one way or another. People can make arguments either way and can ultimately back it up with facts and statistics in one way or another.
I don't know if I believe in the whole 'God created you one way, so you should stay that way' arguement though (and yes I am Christian). Like it or not, no matter your religion, it is pretty hard to deny that evolution has taken place, and what was once needed, now may not be. For instance, we as humans have both an appendix and a gall bladder, but neither of them are neccessary for us to survive. They are more of a problem than anything, and with infection can cause death. By saying we should be exactly as God created us, is almost saying we should never evolve or change or improve. To take your argument to the extreme, why do we cut our hair or our fingernails? That is a way of improving how we look, staying cleaner, removing germs, etc. I personally had my adnoids and tonsils removed when I was a kid, b/c I would get strep throat several times a year, which left me weak and more susceptible to other diseases. I am extremely glad I had those removed from me and was not left the way 'God wanted.' This is also true for those who have cancer, and have tumors removed, or have heart surgery or whatever else.
Yes I agree, that circumcision can be seen as brutal. I was circumsized when I was born, and I don't remember it, and I have had no problems b/c of it. Sure we can say that it is the babys' choice and they should have the ultimate decision. But it gets more difficult and dangerous the older you get, and by the time they have all the information they need, they will be more at risk. I still have yet to decide what I will do if I have a son, but then again I still have time to read and learn.
