I'm Buddhist and my husband is Muslim. He wants our son to be circumcised, he says not just for religious beliefs but also because it's more hygienic. I'm uncomfortable at the thought of having to choose my for my child an elective procedure and to have him go through the pain of circumcision. Any advice?

Why want to decide for ur son? Just let ur son to decide for himself. It is his body. Imagine if someone said wana cut part of ur body's part reason for hygiene purpose, thus will u let the person cut?? Even if it is cut, can you guarantee that ur boy is 100% hygiene, clean and safe from all germs/bacteria?? Part of growing up, he will still meet all types of unexplainable stuffs (different bacteria/germs/virus etc) so does this means he needs to cut or remove plenty of his body parts? No right?! Why not just teach ur boy the correct ways of taking care if himself and practise more hygiene will too ya. 🙂 For my opinion, i disagreed circumcised. Sorry.
