Think about it this way. Imagine someone coming into your house, and mutilating your adult body, while you slept, without asking you.

Would you just get on with your life and forget about it?

And restoration provides only appearance. The foreskin is an organ that is more than skin. There is no way to restore it. Only to recreate its appearance.

I still agree with you, but that's a bit different. An adult, unlike a child, has the ability to provide consent to matter, though not necessarily in your scenario, but they do. One role of the parents is to make choices in best interest for the child as they grow up. Though, debatably, I believe circumcision should not be one of those things.

I'm circumcised and and quite happy about it. I'm glad my parents for whatever reason decided to save me even the most trifling chance that it'd need to be done when I was old enough to feel it.

As others have said, you can only speculate about how it would feel either way. And I've not had any problems with mine yet.

If I have a son and my wife is indifferent to the decision my vote shall be yay.

i would suggest doing some serious research first, as i would for any procedure you're going to have done to yourself or your child.

Being uncircumcised is outside the norm these days, with over half of the US being circumcised
Say WHAT?! I thought circumcision was rare: only Jews and a minority of Catholics. I'm pretty sure circumcised guys are in the minority here in Australia.

I've had no complaints. Foreskin is a natural body part; the only reason a girl wouldn't like it is if she's been influenced (the nicest word I can think of for "brainwashed") to expect a circumcision by culture and family. Otherwise a foreskin is what her instincts would expect to see.

Of course you could make the same argument for armpit hair on girls, but we all know armpit shame was invented by marketers on behalf of shaving razor manufacturers. (And if you didn't know that: yes, I'm serious. They invented B.O. as a common affliction, too.)

I'm a proud owner of a foreskin.

To me circumcision is something foreigners and religious people do, the whole idea is just strange.

Yes, medical reasons. Don't really understand what the big deal is, personally, I feel I lost more useful parts when a bench saw claimed two of my fingers. It dosen't strike me as being that barbaric unless it's done by people who consider a swig of brandy and a hacksaw cutting edge medicine. I don't know anything about the female version though, from what I've heard it's a lot worse.

Woah! Someone mentioned that earlier and I thought they were taking the piss. $100,000 for a foreskin? Hmmm...nah, still not worth it. Any get rich quick scheme that involves me losing part of my penis is one I can do without.
You do realize it's the hospital that would get that money. They charge the parents to circumcise the child so in essence they'd be paying them to make money.
You do understand the concept of 'humour' yes?

Circumcision was started in desert countries where they couldn't wash much and there was alot of sand.. you get the idea and then it was taken up by several Religions.

Partly as a way to stem a certain type fungal infection as well I believe.

I personally am not, but being Canadian, it's not exactly a common thing here.

However, I wish I had been, as there is a little evidence to support the fact that it lowers the chance of receiving as well as giving STD's, it tends to smell less, and also, peeing becomes a lot less messy. The differences are only slight, but it's enough that I wish it had happened.

This might be slightly off-topic,
but I could not resist replying to you.

I can not agree more with you, it is simply ridiculous the way it permeates society before one can speak out.
Ideally, I would want a girlfriend who had not shaved, applied make-up or shower constantly.
If girls don't shave, they will have little to no hair to speak of to shave in the first place.
If they don't use make-up, their skin will look natural and age naturally, instead of being bombarded with all kinds of chemicals that mess up their skin.
Ironically, the very cream they use to soften their skin actually makes it dry up, and of course, dependent on the cream to to soften it up again.
And one doesn't start to smell until bacteria in the skin eats, metabolizes and excretes the waste that creates the odor.
That process takes at least a week or more to take place.

One of the reason why there are so many allergic people today is because we are too clean.
We take away all the bacteria that a growing child needs to develop a healthy immune system.

Apologies for the long rant.

Yes, because vaginas are so elegant.

These are sex organs, people!
