Same for removal of foreskin: None.
It's purely a cultural thing. And it's completely wrong.

Ueb, the possible benefits are so minor that they can be dismissed as irrelevant, and ultimately null. Far greater benefits can be derived by safe practice.
So I maintain that circumcision has essentially no benefits from a medical perspective, and even if you disagree with that opinion, you cannot possibly believe that what benefits you can point to can possibly justify cutting pieces off babies.
I mean, that's what it comes down to, cutting bits off your kids. Can you imagine if anyone cut off any other part of a baby (without medical training, and not using any anesthetic) and not going to jail?

Wait are we ever going to find out why 'Lil bit' thinks the foreskin is so magic.
I for one, think the public have a right to know.
