To carry on the debate about Circumcison, this article is very interesting, and i'd like to know what you think of it.

I have never seen any properly conducted medical trials from reputable teaching or established units to substantiate the above statements except:

Cancer of the penis is rare in the circumcised,but it is rare anyway.

There is evidence that cancer of the cervix is more rare with a circumcised partner.

At �320 a go...I would recommend circumcision.

As circumscision is a religious practice I would not place a lot of creedence on any results unless all religious people were entirely removed from the research.

These people are known for bias and mindlessly backing results that support their biggotry.

Not as well as judicious use of a condom I'll bet!

And if we are considering the health benefits of religious injunctions, we might wonder why the Almighty told the Israelites not to eat milk and meat together but clean forgot to say "Boil the water before drinking it!"

Thanks, for your opinions, which is what I was after, just trying to put another slant on it.
