To suggest that male circucision is right because it has medical benefits is to say that males are born defective.
Don't think anyone should be circumcised at birth, but I thought I'd respond to this anyway. Thankfully most people in my country stopped doing it many years ago.
The supposed medical benefits of circumcision result from the continual wearing of pants (Americans: in English, pants = underpants), not something we're exactly evolved for. And, yes, we are born defective for life in modern society. Otherwise I wouldn't get back ache from being slumped in front of a computer all day, nor would I consider overly fatty food highly desirable, I wouldn't need glasses, and so on.
