• so you are ok with putting an infant through the possibility of pain? Maybe your husband experience was the exception and not the norm.

• The "medical argument" for circumcision does not seem to support itself. If you search for "male stds" and view the pics you will see that most std infections presented are with a circumcised penis. Does this mean that males who are uncircumcised are less likely to be infected? No.

• maybe you should leave the primates alone and seek human companionship.
