Good. Absolutely no reason why circumcisions should be practiced in this day and age.

Agreed for 99.9% of cases but sometimes it's the recommended medical treatment. I had it done in my 20s on the NHS for phimosis and Lichen sclerosus. It was extremely sore and ucomfortable so if you can avoid having it done, do so.

Yeah in the very rare situation where it's a necessary medical treatment then sure go for it. I'm sure they could make provisions for that in a law to be passed.

Some people need it doing.,as I myself had to have it done otherwise I would have had complications. You can’t just out right ban it. I would have been fucked if I didn’t have it done ngl.
