Im all for it, I think it makes it easier
for when the boys get older, and it is
easier to clean as well.

who are against it... And I dont see why

polluck office thingy they have a new
method that is bloodless and only takes 40
seconds my neigbhor used him for her son

Do whatever you feel is right.
Personally, if I ever have a son I would
not get him circumcized because there are
really no health benefits of removing the
foreskin. I find it unnecessary to put a
baby through pain to remove something he
was born with! Just my opinion but I hope
it goes well christina!

Hey
hey some medical benefits of circumcision
are
- it has been shown to reduce the risk of
urinary tract infection
- it reduces the risk of penile infection
also called balanoposthitis
-it elimates the need to do it later in
life 6% of boys will require circumcision
do to medical reasons doing it later in
life takes longer to heal is way more
painful and requires a general ansethtic
instead of a local one
-circumcision has been shown to reduce the
risk of getting some sexually transmitted
diseases including the human papilloma
virus (hpv) and aids
-circumcision has been shown to reduce the
risk of penile cancer and cervical cancer
in partners
- some studies also show that circumcised
men have a less risk of a sexual
dysfunction later in life...
There are some facts about.. I copied
that from one of the brouchers I got on
circumcision

I was thinking about this awhile ago,
about joshua...I still don't know entirely
what I am going to choose but haven't done
much research on it yet to know which is
better. 
Its great to see your guys' advice
though!

Hey
they usually get it done before two
months of age.. Where I m going its
cheaper for under two months.. The
younger they r the less risks r involved n
it takes shorter time to heal when they r
younger.. I casnt remeber r u in canada?
Cuz if u are they do not do it in the
hospital no more u have to go to a private
clinic whic costs big bucks... Dominicks
is 200$
