Phallic Question

[Rodion Romanovich]

1.) Circumcision was first adopted to catch hemophilia in infants, and still is if you look at this article: http://www.hemophiliagalaxy.com/pati...s/success.html, but with limits with understanding disease and such, I think circumcision was partly done in Ancient Times so that the child would not have to live with such a debilitating disease like Alexei here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarevich_Alexei_of_Russia

So, you mean it is done as a way of cleansing the gene pool of "undesirables" by letting those babies die who happened to have become inbred because their parents choose the wrong partners (like the Romanovs who, like most other kings and queens in Europe during the 18th century and onwards got inbred by the diplomatically arranged marriages)? Sounds unlikely. Do you have any source for this?
