Harm? What harm would that be?



Possible infections including sepsis, urinary retention, and damage to
the rest of the penis.



Oh, you mean complications. Now that tells us that we need to select the
surgeon for the circumcision based on track record and experience rather
than let any old doctor who is available have a go. We would select a
doctor if we were going to have an operation, so why not for this one
for our kids?

And while we are about it we would insist on the use of pain medication,
yes?



The discomfort of the post circumcision period is minor and should not
be exaggerated



According to the study you quoted below, it took up to three weeks for
men to get back to work. So it sounds to me as though it causes
significant discomfort in at least some cases. Now, of course,



Actually it said: "Men reported returning to work after a median of 3
days (range 0-21) and to general activities after a median of 1 day (0-3
days)."

Yet you quote "3 weeks". What is it about you foreskin true believers
that turns you into pathological liars? Inquiring minds would like to know.
