In reply to the discussion: CDC: Circumcision Benefits Outweigh Risks [View all]DemocratSinceBirth
(99,719 posts)You can find scientists who deny global warming is a real phenomenon, even tenured professors at prestigious institutions but the weight of science suggests global warming is a real phenomenon, thus it is with the benefits of circumcision outweighing the risks.
And the urinary tract argument is a bit of a red herring as most urinary tract infections can be easily cured. Circumcision has been indicated in greatly reducing the incidence of HIV and the humanpapilloma virus that causes cervical and anal cancer. Those conditions can not be easily cured. And as a female, a male is usually the source of the dose, you should be concerned, if not for yourself then for your progeny and your sisters who are at risk.
I have been reading the literature and if circumcision rates continue to decline the nasty sexually transmitted diseases which I have mentioned will increase, putting a greater burden on our health care system.
