Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - you owe it to your son
If youre a parent, or are ever going to become one, you owe it to your child to know this stuff! Don't make an uninformed decision. Yes, this book is anti circumcision. There is plenty of pro circumcision pressure elsewhere. This may even they playing field. Once it does, think for yourself. Ask yourself if you feel in your heart that cutting off a part of an innocent babys genitals without his permission is okay. Ask yourself if you want to pay someone to this this heinous thing to your own child. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally!
It's about time an un biased, factual book was written on this subject.
My sons are still intact and as perfect as they were the day they were born, but I will be buying more copies for my pregnant friends.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Too biased to be persuasive
This book is a diatribe against circumcision, not a study or balanced account. So the tone is more polemical than most readers would prefer. This is too bad, because the book contains a lot of accurate and useful information.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I've ordered more copies of this fabulous book!
...this was a very good book...I've shared it with others and the response has been good so far...I really don't understand why people still circ their boys anymore since the rest of the world is fine not doing it
