Should circumcision be banned?

After hearing about how my grandfather had to have it done when he was about 40 because of an infection and was bedridden in pain for about a week afterwards, I'm not too bothered by it or having had it done.

I should note that I find the religious reasons for it to be nonsense and am not sympathetic to them in the slightest. I'm just not bothered by the fact that it was done on me when I can't remember it.

I see it as much like someone getting their kid's appendix or tonsils removed before any infection or issue to prevent that from being necessary later. Not something I'd do but I'm not too bothered by it. Nor would I be bothered if it was done to me (I still have appendix and tonsils, but don't care.)

Here's one thing I know for sure: If I wasn't already cut but had to be now for medical reasons, I'd only allow a female doctor to do it.

So let's compare circumcision to other permanent irreversible things.  Vaccination not only has the health benefits circumcision wishes it did, but (modern vaccination) leaves no permanent disfiguring mark.  Unless you're one of the whackjobs that thinks vaccination causes autism, then it has a very limited downside (some people get sick from vaccines, but it's a tiny number).

I think circumcision is less like vaccination and more like tattooing.  Should it be legal?  For adults, of course.  Should you do it to 6 day olds?  Probably not. 

See the thing is, I did have it done when I was 6 days old, and I simply can't muster being bothered or caring at all about it.
