----- Original Message ----- Why have you read a lot of this stuff? You know it's neuropsychologically impossible for a newborn to be scarred by, comprehend, or remember anything that happens in the first few months of life. Birth itself would be far more traumatic than circumcision, so we'd all have PTSD, right?
