On monday in the NATIONAL POST newspaper there was a short article on the relationship between stress and brain development in babies. It was in response to a question asking whether one should let a baby "cry it out" or pick them up and comfort them.
The answer was that letting a baby "cry it out" stressed the baby and could lead to impaired development in four areas of the brain. The author of the study referenced, ended by quoting that in the future "letting a baby cry it out would be considered child abuse !!
So, WTH does the stress of circumcision do to our little boys ??? It blows me away to think of the intelectual capacity that may have been taken away from millions of men by this barbaric custom.
