    You can’t get cancer if that part is removed. If it’s about cancer, let the boy decide for himself at 18. There’s zero reason to take that choice away from them on the grounds of penile cancer in old age.

      Sure; again, I’m not arguing on either side for the issue. I’m just pointing out what’s not the actual argument people do or don’t make for the practice.
