The Foreskin Battle

Circumcision is one of those ethical nests that just doesn't get any less contentious no matter what the evidence.

Years of data suggesting that male circumcision is without significant clinical advantage, and carries a number of disadvantages for males, have persuaded none of the proponents of the procedure, including both religious and medical advocates.

University of Maryland's student paper, which (apparently) isn't written by the sort of chimpanzees that typically author news pieces for university papers, does a nice job in its chronicle of the "day in the life" of advocates in the ethics of circumcision, if that's the sort of mood you're in.
