Removing people's genitalia is not a silly matter. Parent's may have chosen to do this back in the day when they were ignorant about the health benefits, or even mislead by their doctors, but today things are different. People know better and to do it anyway IS immoral.
Regarding tonsils, if they are going to make your kid sick, then you do the hard thing as a parent and choose, for your child, to have them removed. You protect your kid by making hard choices. Circumcision does NOT fall within that category unless there is actually something wrong with the foreskin, and almost all the time there is nothing wrong with it.
Dave I'm sorry but there is no winning this argument from your end. It cannot be justified.
But that's the whole thing: I am not arguing for circumcision! I am just trying to have a discussion about (a) whether it is moral or not and (b) whether there is conclusive evidence one way or the other. I have tried to NOT bring my personal views into it because it isn't a decision I will ever have to make.
