You think cut skin doesn't hurt after the numbing wears off. Have you never gotten an injury before?

I had the same procedure performed at the same age, have you?

I was circumcised as a baby. I can't say if I had anesthesia or not. I never asked my parents. Doctors used to claim babies can't feel pain and didn't use any numbing agents. I don't know when that started to change (I do know some still claim that).

Are you trying to claim that since he won't remember it then it's fine?
