And an infinitely increased risk of a baby getting an infection and dying from having a piece of their body cut off, yay!

I mean, like I said I nearly died and don't support it. Although, there are benefits and chance of infection is very low at least in a 1st world country. There are many other things with higher chance that could impact a child, like the high chance of foreskin infection.

Balanitis in a small degree nearly affects all men with an intact foreskin. The vast majority of cases are quite mild. Most child get what’s called chemical balanitis which is just a small amount of redness associated with the foreskin releasing. True infected balanitis occurs in approximately 5% of the population of boys of less than 5 years of age.

And I guess its a common problem, go figure people and kids especially don't practice proper hygene.

Having had that, it's extremely mild, a tiny bit of discomfort for a couple days. Not worth removing the foreskin for. We don't cut off people's ears because kids often get ear infections.

Terrible analogy, the outer part of the ear isn't what allows the infection to happen.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Lacking an outer ear would allow wax to drop out more easily, and make the canal easier to clean, so it should reduce infections.
