Off with their heads! "Men have a 60 per cent lower risk of acquiring HIV if they are circumcised"

Health studies show that circumcision has significant health benefits for males.

But some people are still angry about it for reasons that aren't entirely clear.

The lesson being, if you're going to get it done, get it done early and by someone who knows what they're doing.
