Well, obviously, I disagree with your position in that it is not coming from a more personal perspective: I prefer myself and/or any child I may have to be able to choose that procedure, for example.
There are point-by-point disagreements I have, but mostly I disagree with not being able to see the positive medicine and psychology the proponents of the procedure advance. I think it's extreme to be advocating or condemning, one way or the other.
You're not out of line in that thread. We just disagree; I think that barring public health concerns, as with vaccines, or conclusive evidence that it causes harm, we don't have a right to interfere with parents' right to make medical decisions for their minor children. Your stance seems to be that unless there is conclusive evidence of benefits of a procedure, and maybe not even then, that we do have that right.

We're cool, though!
