Their are groups that do it for cultural or religious reasons.<br><br>But in our country its pain for the sake of vanity. I was discussing this with a friend and she pointed out that if you look at another point of view, a person with different beliefs could argue that circumcision is the same thing. We also do this for cultural and religious reasons. There is no real medical need for it, but it is accepted practice, and never really looked upon as abuse<br><br>So I would basically say that if it was my daughter I would wait for her to make the decision herself. But as far as other parents are concerned I cant say that I would condemn a practice that is widely accepted.LadydragonflaggFri, 10 Nov 2006 03:46:24 -0000
