    Hm...I wonder how many 12 years old boys of free will want to have the tip of their penis cut off before they get 18 years old? Circumcision is a sado-masochistic-religious ritual comparable to the Ubangi plates in the lips, female circumcision in East Africa and Burmese women putting rings to lengthen their necks, and some Ethiopian people where whipping 12-15 years old girls has some fertility ritual function. Based on human biological rights reasoning none of these things belong in the 21st century, but based on culture tolerance ideals they should all be allowed. Difficult question, but as long as nobody forces someone else to do any of these things it should probably be allowed. The problem with all these rites is that in the cultures they occur they are usually believed to be necessary to do while the victim is still a young child, and they oppose leaving the decision until 18 years age or similar.
