The Great Circumcision Debate

I mentioned cut vs. uncut on one of my sites years ago and learned about the furor the topic can evoke. So has Lindsay Ferrier who wondered on her blog if she should have her son circumcised.

I’d never heard about how biotechnology companies are harvesting discarded foreskins:

There are a LOT of perverts out there, and against the cultural controls, biotech companies wanting their raw materials, doctors wanting their slice of the money, and paws on the foreskin the whole way along, little boys in the US don’t really stand a chance do they.

Whenever I encounter the prose of the anti-circumcision fanatics I think of my own foreskin and how it has never given me a problem but it hasn’t caused divine intervention either.

“Your kids will despise you for making them mutilated freaks when they learn how wonderful the foreskin is,” wrote a guy named Ron.
