My favorite part is that all of this focuses on the science (which is ultimately secondary - we don't do preventative surgery for anything else, like pulling wisdom teeth before they've erupted, removing the appendix / tonsils before they show signs of problems, etc.) and not the concept of bodily autonomy.
That's the part I don't understand. Again, if someone is happy with the fact that they're cut, that's awesome, more power to them. But since it's a one-way process, it shouldn't be done before someone can make the choice themselves, unless there's a medical necessity (phimosis - even though this can often be solved naturally without surgery -, etc.) I'm not arguing against circumcision as a practice, just circumcision on infants who have no say in the matter.
All four of my wisdom teeth were pulled at the same time based upon the crown of my lower left wisdom tooth was growing 90% to the vertical and was slowly pushing forward with the concave crown locked against the convex side of the Adjacent tooth. There were indications that the other 3 wisdom teeth might follow the same course and as long as I was sedated, they removed all of the redundant teeth at the same time. I was no say in the matter and that is quite OK with me. I do not want the teeth or my foreskin back either.
