in the United States until very recently. There is no medical reason
for routine circumcision. Read these wonderful articles about this

Magazine Article: Protect your Uncircumcised Son
If you do decide to circumcise
your son, please consider using a Mohel to perform the procedure.
A Mohel is a Rabbi trained in Jewish ritual circumcision. Mohels
are much faster and better than medical doctors who perform circumcision.
Most Mohels complete the circumcision in less than a minute, while
many doctors take as long as 20-30 minutes. Circumcision is unnecessary,
but if you do choose to circumcise your son, please do it the most
humane way possible -- with a Mohel. The following links are about
Mohels and Brit Milah (ritual circumcision).
