I'd like to add: most of the conditions that are less likely in the circumcised are extremely rare. A 50% reduction in a condition that occurs at a rate of 1 in 100,000 means a difference of 20 people in a population of 40mil. And that's if *everyone* gets an elective medical procedure.

To me, this smacks of vaccine logic. Let's "prevent" illness by treating every single person for diseases they don't have, and may never contract. But doctors aren't doing it for free, are they?

I usually make the appendicitis analogy:

>We could virtually eliminate appendicitis if we just performed appendectomies at 10 years old. Laparoscopic appendectomies are very safe after all... an outpatient procedure. Like getting wisdom teeth pulled.

Yea sure, but... I still have my wisdom teeth in my 40s. It's not for everyone. Preventative medicine is great and all, but when the conditions you're performing surgery to prevent are so mild, infrequent, and/or easily treatable... what's the point of surgery? Acute appendicitis affects genpop at a rate of ~10% - so way higher risk than any conditions that may arise from forgoing circumcision. Yet we're not handing out free appendectomies... why?
