what is this nonsense about it being a man's decision? The hospital didn't ask my husband, they asked me. And what's this about "looking like their fathers?" Silly.
My son is 23. When he was born they were advising against it. They gave me literature to read. 1.5 pages of why not to do it and a few reasons why you should do it. The reasons in favor of it were things like: so they can look like dad, or look like everyone else. NONE of them were good reasons. The reasons not to do it were health reasons.
The decision should be made on medical information and nothing else. Why in the world would you worry about being different?
