Circumcision is a medical procedure that involves cutting away part of a person's skin around their genitals. Some people think it's important to have this done, while others think it's something that shouldn't happen. The main controversy over circumcision is whether or not it should be done on babies and children, who can't make the decision for themselves. Some argue that it's a decision that should wait until the person is old enough to choose for themselves. Others argue that it presents health benefits, such as reduced risk of certain diseases and infections. Ultimately, it's an individual choice that is up to the parents or the person getting circumcised to decide.
