There is all this talk about the foreskin being a harbinger of
disease with the studies to back it up.

Cites, please?

And you know that word...harbinger? I do not think it means what you
think
it means.

I do not find his arguments convincing. In fact, his examples of 'proof'
that the anti-circumcision activists are all misguided look....gee,
pretty
sane to me. Some of those quotes were even from peer-reviewed medical
journals, claiming no health benefit to routine infant
circumcision....and yet somehow the author of the web site uses them as
proof that anti-circ folks are all misguided.

And he also has a disclaimer for his 'data'

"Disclaimer: The contents of MediCirc as furnished by Dr. Schoen are

In other words, he wants to sell you a circumcision.

Slight problem: Dr Schoen is retired.
