is rare in
all males, circumcised or not, rarer in non-circumcising Denmark than the US, rarer than
male breast cancer. We could cut off boy babies' nipples to prevent that (they won't be needing them) but we don't.

That's a very rare condition (called BXO) which can be treated without surgery.
Huh?

This seems to be a variant of "Parents make many decisions for their children" Short answer: ... but no decision quite like this, about what parts of his own body he is allowed to keep.
A better analogy is: when the child is born, does the doctor ask us if we want his pinky fingertips, earlobes, tonguetip, eyelids, or her little clitoral hood, clitoris or labia trimmed? What's so special about his foreskin that parents even get asked? (In the rest of the English-speaking world, they used to, but they found circumcising doesn't do any good, so now they don't. In most of the world they've never done it. Seven out of ten men in the world are intact.)
PS does anyone know if they wear out? I don't have one. LOL
No, on the contrary they improve with use and experience.

Boys should be circumcised as it is the only thing that distinguishes them from animals.

Bottom line: in the US, home of the free, all people should be allowed undisturbed ownership all of the healthy non-renewable parts of their bodies they were born with. If you don't own your own body, what do you own?
