Kyle,

Thank you for putting in words the exact reason why my husband and I  
did circumcise our son.  Believe me, we thought long and hard because  
it is really a medically unnecessary procedure.  But in the end we  
wanted him to "look like Daddy."  Does that perpetuate this procedure  
for non-Jewish boys?  I guess it does and I am guilty.  But I am  
still glad we did it when he was only a few days old.  I am sure I  
would not do it if he was older and could remember.

I may be opening a can of worms here keeping this thread going given  
some of the responses, but that's my two cents.
