This subject was briefly mentioned in the god thread, and I figure it could raise a bit of separate discussion as it's one of the many ethical questions of life, so off we go.
Now, personally I believe in free will. If an adult person really wants to get rid of his foreskin for whatever reason, then so be it, there should be no questions asked. However, when it comes to mutilating children, whose word (if it even exists, as this is performed on infants too) doesn't matter one little bit for the ones making the call, I stand hard against it, and will hope that it eventually gets illegalized fully in the western world. That's no different from assaulting a baby in its cart out on the streets if you ask me.
It's only really acceptable if done in the worst HIV areas of Africa, where it might actually save some lives. However, all the other reasons, particularly social, are just so plain idiotic, no facepalm memes could ever compensate. Preventing masturbation? Dear nutjobs, back-and-forth movement is the most natural thing in the world. I should know, I'm a daily wanker and won't be ashamed to admit. This is my body, no one else has any right to decide what I do with it.
All the respect for those Jewish and Muslim organizations who refuse to mutilate their children.
