Based on MRI data collected throughout the process, the research team noted “significant trauma” in conjunction with the foreskin removal process, with the most pronounced brain changes occurring in the limbic system, which includes the amygdala and frontal and temporal lobes.

When a baby is circumcised, some ritual Jewish circumcisers (mohelim) do a practice called metzitzah b’peh. Metzitzah b’peh is when the mohel uses their mouth to suck blood away from the baby’s circumcision wound as part of the circumcision ritual. After metzitzah b’peh, some babies can get an infection.
Circumcision is a truly barbaric Hebrew religious ritual designed to cause trauma in infants

Circumcising your newborn is an option; it's not like anybody is being forced to have it done.
What??
The baby is forced........the newborn has no option.

It's odd how people go chasing around Pizza gate when the stuff happens right under our nose, we just have to dare to take an honest and unbiased look.

That’s because foreskin fibroblasts are big business. A fibroblast is a piece of human skin that is used as a culture to grow other skin or cells -- like human yogurt kits. Human foreskin fibroblast is used in all kinds of medical procedures from growing skin for burn victims and for eyelid replacement, to growing skin for those with diabetic ulcers (who need replacement skin to cover ulcers that won’t heal), to making creams and collagens in the cosmetics industry (yes, the product that is injected into puffy movie-starlet lips).

While the trend is slowly growing popular, there are reports, according to a clinic in South Africa, which admitted to be actively involved in the business, as they were supplying an American market, that there were illegal circumcision clinics supplying them with the skins.
It was not done to infants.

The notion of milah being linked to a biblical covenant is generally believed to have originated in the 6th century BCE as a product of the Babylonian captivity; the practice likely lacked this significance among Jews before the period.

Every Jewish father is commanded to fulfill the Biblical precept (described in Genesis 17:10-14) to circumcise his son on the eighth day or to designate a qualified representative to do so on his behalf.
"And God spoke to Abraham saying: ...This is my covenant which you shall keep between Me and you and thy seed after you - every male child among you shall be circumcised." (Gen. 17:12) For 3,500 years, since the time of our forefather Abraham, the Jewish people have observed the ritual of circumcision as the fundamental sign of the covenant between God and Israel
Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman culture widely found circumcision to be barbaric, cruel, and utterly repulsive in nature.
Results
A total of 339 participants with a median age of 25 years (IQR 22–29) were included in the study, of whom 116 (34.2%) were circumcised. The overall STIs prevalence was 27.4% (95% CI 22.8 to 32.6%) and was lower in the circumcised participants compared with those who were uncircumcised (15.5% vs 33.6%, respectively, p < 0.001). Both medical (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34–0.95, p = 0.030) and traditional circumcision (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13–0.86, p = 0.022)

I seem to remember that it used to be done because people thought that it reduced the amount that boys masturbated.

I am hoping you have things to say about all the little kids and babies with piercings and tattoos now too.
No medical reason there.
Perhaps they are offended you’ve pointed out male victimization. The only real victims are suppose to be women right?

Ok...
At fault is the legislative that makes child mutilation legal, under the pretext of freedom of religion. The practitioner is paid by the patient, he gets to do what is asked. I wonder how this procedure, doesn't go against the hippocratic oath?
Why do you consider it unnecessary, and what moral standing do you consider questionable?
