Very concise and I agree with everything written. I've done some writing myself but haven't really gotten published much. I thought the article was great.

I researched it heavily before my last son was born, and found that there's no medical reason for it, and actually the only reasonable reason I could find was if it's a religious requirement (ie, if you're Jewish or Muslim). I have not found any good reasons for us TO do it, and I found quite a few to NOT do it. The prior commenter is right that it's not common in most of the world--really just the middle east and parts of the US. Even in the USA the rates are dropping and it's only around 50% nationwide now. I guess the final straw for me was the thought that if I circumcise my kid as an infant, then he never has a choice...whereas if I leave him intact, then as an adult he could still choose circumcision if he wanted it, but at least it would be HIS choice for his body, not mine forced on him. I think that's only fair. I've blogged about it quite a bit--search the tag 'intactivism' I havent’ been here in a while (busy with my own newborn these last couple of weeks!) but I wanted to throw in a comment concerning circumcision.

I didn't have time to interview a ped, so when we went in for the version, they just had me pick the name of one off the list. I ended up loving her, but she isn't as great as the one you have! He sounds incredible!! I'm sooo glad you are comfortable with him and everything went well. Now here's to hoping that little one cooks for a couple more weeks :) That’s great!!
