The pain that a baby experiences during circumcision is worse than anything the average person is likely to experience in a lifetime. Sadly, there is nothing that can be done to eliminate this pain entirely. Studies show that anesthesia helps reduce pain to some extent, but it is powerless to make circumcision pain free.
The pain of circumcision can have serious complications
It is so severe that many babies stop breathing, vomit, and defecate in their agony
One recent study on the pain of circumcision was stopped after several infants, circumcised without anesthesia, experienced life-threatening breathing difficulties that included choking and apnea
The shock of circumcision results in hysterical screaming, crying, and can produce dangerous complications, including rupture of the heart

Routine infant circumcision is wrong, whether done to a male or female child
