I was circumcised for medical reasons at aged 5. Obviously different.
Whether I needed it do be done or not (I did) I don't consider myself to be mutilated and have no regrets that it happened.
However, I cannot begin to justify in my mind that a baby should be circumcised for religious reasons. I wouldn't tattoo or pierce a baby's ears...so I wouldn't consider, even for a moment, surgically altering its penis!
