@spendius,
Spendius I think that you know that I kid around with you at times and it is because you are not so emotional so I do not think that it would bother you as it would others that are more emotional.
I do find it odd though because most beliefs have an emotional attachment to them and that is why I think they are so hard to let go of!
You seem to have allot of traditional beliefs that you would like to see continue, Are there any of these beliefs that you were taught that might need changing?
What do you think about this old religious belief?
Less commonly practiced, and more controversial, is metzitzah b'peh, (alt. mezizah), or oral suction,[11][12] where the mohel sucks blood from the circumcision wound. The traditional reason for this procedure is to minimize the potential for postoperative complications,[13][14] although the practice has been implicated in the spreading of herpes to the infant.[15]
