I’m curious what the statistics would be if they remove everybody’s appendix at the age of 1 month? Sure, there are risks due to surgery, but would the outweigh the risk of appendicitis that wasn’t caught soon enough? I dunno.
I’d probably have opted against doing it if I had a boy. My brother, who still lives in our “home country” and is a bit more conservative in these issues, had both of his boys circumcised because he was very concerned about the “I don’t look like Daddy” issue. Sad thing is, they botched boy #2’s circumcision, and though it wasn’t a life changer he probably looks about as much different as he would have with a foreskin. I’m too classy to have said to my brother “well, that’s why I would have been against it”.
Oh, and the original topic of this thread? What a crock of $#!t. Our health care costs are far more effected by people choosing to eat at fast food restaurants, often turning their kids into fat chunks like me by age 12. Let’s get some perspective here…
