Ask Yourself

1. Are you willing to risk your son's life? - Circumcison kills more than 100 children in the USA every year.

2. Are you willing to risk your son's penis and/or testicles being partially or fully amputated? - Necrosis and gangrene are possible and can lead to the amputation of not only the penis and testicles but surrounding skin as well.

3. Are you willing to risk your son being socially outcasted? - Only 1/3 of American children from 2009 are circumcised.

4. Are you willing to leave your son with a smaller penis? - Removing part of the penis will leave it smaller and thinner.

5. Are you willing to take away a large portion of your son's sexual pleasure? - Circumcison will remove at least 10,000 of his nerve endings.

6. Are you willing to pay for a surgery that is medically unnecessary? - Routine circumcision is never necessary. There are much better things you can do with $400. You can start a college fund, start a life insurance policy or buy a savings bond for your son.

7. Are you willing to let yourself and your son be exploited by the medical industry? - Foreskin is a big business. Hospitals and doctors want you to circumcise your son because they profit from it. OBGYNs regularly supplement their income by performing circumcision and hospitals sell your son's foreskin to make skin grafts, to research companies, and to make beauty care products. Circumcision surgery alone generated more than $400 million in 2005.

8. Are you willing to disregard your son's rights to his own body? - Circumcision violates your son's right to his body. As circumcision will not save his life, can kill him, and alters his body forever and he cannot consent to it, it is most definitely a violation of his personal choice.
