I watched the Penn & Teller BS episode on Circumcision last night. DH had a copy of the applicable season on DVD.

I found it to be a very disturbing account of parents inflicting their will on tiny beings who cannot defend themselves.

There were also interviews with men who had been "victims" of infantile circumcision. These interviews highlighted to me that in this day and age, we are perhaps perilously close to the point where a man will sue his parents over an unwanted circumcision.

I recommend watching it.

I love Penn and Teller, but haven't seen this episode. Do you know if it has been on TV? They were showing some episodes a couple of weeks ago (after a long break from mid year), but haven't seen any scheduled since Christmas. Last I saw was one on Marijuana the week before Christmas. These guys always give an interesting opinion regarding peoples opinions - v- "facts"

It has been on TV, and I've seen the episode on DVD available from Ebay. It is EXCELLENT!

It is also occasionally viewable, in segments, on YouTube.

Edited to add: The entire episode is currently on YouTube...

Yup, I watched it on Youtube a while ago. If my husband and I had disagreed about circ, I think that show would have swayed his opinion.
