My parents didn´t actually have me circumcised - it was my own choice. But I don´t think that such a small risk would have made a difference. I know for certain that at least one of my vaccinations had a risk associated, and they chose to go ahead.

> "Please explain your assumption. What risks are similar to death resulting from complications due to unnecessary surgery?"

Isn´t any activity that, in the worst case, could result in death, similar?

> "I seriously doubt this boy´s parents were informed of any risks."

Maybe. Neither of us know.

> "And it seems you´re making light of a child´s death. How disrespectful."

I´m sorry you´ve interpreted my words that way. I don´t wish to make light of the fact - it´s always an awful thing when somebody dies, particularly to those close to him. But unfortunately, it happens for some reason or another every day.
