Groups opposed to circumcision are watching the case of an eight-year-old suburban Chicago boy whose divorced parents are fighting in court over whether he should have the procedure.

 

The child's mother wants him circumcised to prevent recurring, painful inflammation she says he's experienced during the past year.

 

But the father says the boy is healthy and circumcision, which removes the foreskin of the penis, is an unnecessary medical procedure that could cause him long-term physical and psychological harm.

 

"The child is absolutely healthy," the father said during a break in a court hearing. "I do not want any doctor to butcher my son."

 

The mother testified her son has had five bouts of painful inflammation and can't wear underwear or jeans during the bouts and is comfortable only in loose-fitting pyjamas.

 

"My child was in the bathroom crying. He asked me to come in because his penis did not look normal," she said, describing one of the episodes.

Tough situation for the kid and the parents.

 

I know alot of people feel like the father does when it comes to this.

 

Interesting case.

I feel like the father does. Jesus, all you have to do is wash it, it takes about 10 seconds in the shower.

Too late in the game for circumcision IMO. Might as well keep him uncut.

After he is cut, can you imagine the splint?!?!

way too old, that would hurt!
