To Cut or not to Cut
Mohels to Mozambique
Last fall, reporting on a randomized controlled trial in South Africa, scientists found that circumcision reduced female-to-male transmission by 60 percent.
Think about that: surgery as a vaccine. Drug researchers would kill for an HIV vaccine half as effective as circumcision.

Also, I agree with Mad hatter about Jon Benet Ramsey.

OK. Fine.
Cut away.
science friday did a piece on this and said the researchers are starting with adult men, not infants.
I think its gross when guys arent cut.
I agree with the Hatter too!
Agree 100% with Mad Hatter. You know the old saying, "If it bleeds, it leads"? Well, they ought to modify it to, "If a cute white kid gets abducted/murdered, it leads (even if the abduction/murder happened 10 years ago)."
And I know a good mohel if anyone needs one. :)
