I've thought of that one too.  Before my daughter was born, three plus 
years ago, when we didn't know her gender, family members asked about 
circumsision.  Our response was that we didn't dehorn our goats.  We didn't 
dock our sheep tails.  Why would we cut off part of our child.  Family 
members weren't pleased.  :-)  Ah well.  Mind you, we wouldn't have docked 
her tail, or removed her horns either, but she arrived without any in 
evidence, so the question was moot.
