What medial boards are advising this? WHO is - against serious challenges from France, Germany among others.

The American Pediatrics association advises AGAINST it. Doctors without Boarders will not perform the procedure cause they disagree with the interpretations of the study.

You didn't answer any of the arguments laid against this study.
 * 1) why are no medical professionals in agreement with how this could help?
 * 2) Why have these studies not been replicated?
 * 3) Why did the US (where we have circumcision) not have less AIDS than France or Germany in the 1980's before we knew anything about AIDS?

These are not trivial little "I don't like that study".

You mention vaccination. There are THOUSANDS of studies about vaccination that all agree with eachother. We know how vaccination works, and why it works. We have real time evidence that it works. WE have NONE Of that for Circumcision...

"even so, all else being equal". Ruptured appendix can and often does cause death -- why would we not agree with cutting it out before hand, to prevent it?

AGain, you want us to "take the studies" without question. But the second you start to question them, the whole thing falls apart.

Again, let's get it straight on exactly who (WHO) is advocating for this - cause it's not "all the medical community" the way vaccination is, or the way birth control is, or condom use. It's one group, following a set of studies that are challenged on so many grounds.

Until or unless those challenges can be answered, it's time to say "what's going on". I like how you belittle me as if i'm not being "skeptic" enough. What do you think reading the studies AND the challenges, and the opinions of major world orgs is doing, if not being skeptical?
