Is having you wisdom teeth out classed as mutilation?

You are certainly very opinionated. Sign of insecurity in my opinion (sic).
There are good reasons for circumcision as well as disadvantages- less risk of infection and STDs for one.

"It's been suggested in studies that penile cancer and transmission of the HIV infection are less likely in circumcised men. However, this issue is not clear cut."

I wouldn't disagree that there are advantages too. What I disagree with is making an irreversible decision on a child's behalf.
