thankyou for posting this interview! my husband and i decided not to have our son circumcised, amidst a furor of negativity from friends and family around us. i can't honestly say we had much more reason for not having him circumcised, than the fact that it just didn't sit right with us. also, our GP told us there is not really any medical reason for boys to be circumcised. now i have some real information to bring to future discussions. thanks again, kaz jimmy
