    A new study is out by the Mayo Clinic about this topic. Some words of interest;

    "A risk-benefit analysis of conditions that neonatal circumcision protects against revealed that benefits exceed risks by at least 100 to 1 and that over their lifetime, half of uncircumcised males will require treatment for a medical condition associated with retention of the foreskin."

    "the risk of UTIs in uncircumcised infants is 1 in 3 compared to circumcised infants, where it is 1 in 15. That is a fourfold difference. UTIs can be dangeous in children – they affect kidneys"
