And would I regret cutting that flap out?

          You freaking weirdos make me laugh. The health stuff is pretty well documented. Do what you want, but if you are too lazy too look up facts, here’s a little from John Hopkins:

          It is important to learn about the benefits and risks of circumcision. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has found that the health benefits of circumcision are greater than the risks. But the AAP also found that these benefits are not great enough to advise that all newborn babies be circumcised. Parents must decide what’s best for their baby.

          • There is a higher risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) in uncircumcised children. This is more so in babies younger than 1 year old. But the risk for UTI in all children is less than 1%.

          • Newborn circumcision does give some protection from cancer of the penis later in life. But the overall risk of penile cancer is very low in developed countries, such as the U.S.

          • Circumcised kids and adults have a lower risk for some sexually transmitted infections. This includes HIV.

          Honestly, not enough reason to have a strong opinion about either way, but damn people get uptight about stupid shit.

            How about this for an imaginary analogy:

            “Studies found that when teachers are allowed to break the fingers of students who perform poorly, scores improve across all measures.”

            Just because something that is unethical has practical benefits does not make it ethical.
