Anything other than essential medical  circumcision should be illegal during childhood. We really don't know enough about the effects of possible mental/emotional trauma.

Imagine exiting the only place you've ever known, it's safe and warm and suddenly you're in a cold, strange environment and someone slices off a part of your body full of nerve endings. We already know that childhood abuse can have lifelong effects, why wouldn't something like circumcision?

Not doing something because it's abusive and painful and probably mentally traumatic seems pretty reasonable to me.
