Circumcision

The tide has turned in most places in the world now although the US still carries this out at a higher percentage than just about anywhere else (Although those rates are surprisingly falling). I had the snip snip done and initially pushed for it with my son until I really looked deeper into the procedure - I simply hadn't really questioned it, this is largely due to what was learned in medical school. It's rarely done here in Switzerland and in the end I am satisfied that we did not do this for our son

The medical justifications simply have been debunked and religious ones are nonsense, it's pretty barbaric when you think about it but fortunately I was too young to recall the experience
 
Hygiene, reduced chance of STIs, UTIs, cancer, phimosis.

Hygiene, not really just wash it
Reduced STI's, there is no evidence of this studies have swung both ways (pardon the pun)
Reduced UTI's, cant find any evidence of this
Cancer, cant find any evidence of this
Phimosis, sort of, but only in the same way having a limb amputated prevents you breaking that limb
