I'd give anything to be able to go back in time and shake my mom and tell her protect me from doctors who would amputate my normal body parts. 95% of the non-Muslim world does not circumcise.
The studies linking circumcision to protection from UTI seem to all share some serious flaws. In one case it has been determined that the uncut kids were being forcibly retracted and "cleaned" by hospital staff, which interferes with the natural immune system. Only the owner should EVER retract a foreskin. If he's not old enough to do it himself, he's not old enough to have it retracted. HANDS OFF, Doctor! Sterile urine leaving the body flushes the area inside the foreskin and restores it to the natural ph balance.
Other studies were found to be biased by the population selection. The intact kids were more likely to be premies with higher general level of health and nutrition problems, because premies are not eligible for neonatal circumcision.
All over the world, most people are intact and medical people view amputation as an absolute last resort.
