That’s a paper by one urologist. There are hundreds of similar papers, both for and against. I posted links to the official position statements on male circumcision of four national medical organizations. Hardly “medical misinformation”.

I’m all in favor of immunizations, but I don’t see a comparison with circumcision, and I’ve never heard circumcision described as “immunization by amputation”.

There are only two countries in the world which circumcise a majority of baby boys (the USA and Israel). 90% of Christians worldwide do *not* circumcise, and in the most Christian countries in the world (places like Mexico, Poland, Brazil, Spain, Italy), the practice is almost unknown.

Like I already pointed out before, circumcision in Biblical times was very different from the usual operation today anyway and only changed in 130AD, but I’m guessing you want baby boys to have the same operation you had. I can’t help thinking that you wouldn’t be so keen to tell people how great circumcision was if you weren’t circumcised yourself.
