Yeah, because breasts are totally comparable to the foreskin in terms of importance and impact of removal. Pardon me for saying so, but I think the comparison is laughable.Also, if you remove part of the body simply b/c it may prevent a disease later on in life. Who's to say I can not give my daughter a mastectomy, breast tissue removal surgery, in order to prevent breast cancer from ever developing! I don't think parents have a right to do anything unless there is a present health issue like appendicitis.
The bottom line is that there are a lot of contradictory and inconclusive studies on the matter, but the one thing everyone agrees on is that the impacts either way are pretty darn minor. Rule number one when dealing with government involvement in cultural and religious matters is that bans on practices that are significant in various cultures and religions should only be used when there is a pressing moral or medical need to ban them. In these sorts of matters, I wouldn't trust any government that doesn't place the burden of proof on those who are proposing the ban. Yes, circumcision is icky and makes people uncomfortable, but it's of far too little significance outside of cultural matters to warrant government interference.
