It's actually banned in Australian public hospitals in all states except one. The Children's Commissioner in Tasmania wants to ban it there completely.
I think it's a personal decision too, but that the decision should be the child's. It's their private parts after all. If my son wants to be circed when he's 18 (maybe 16 if he knows what he's doing), I'll gladly pay for it, and help him find the best surgeon around, but until then, I don't want anyone cutting parts off his penis.
If you wait, it's safer, it hurts less, and the results are cosmetically better.
