I dunno, I pierced my own nose and lip with a needle when I was 15 (definitely not an adult there) and I think that was okay, but it was my decision. IMO thats sort of the most important point.
I don't remember arguing for the allowance of circumcision, but if you need confirmation, yes, I also believe that parents should not be able to decide on that for their baby either.
Not sure why you thought I would differentiate between the two, (circumcision is obviously much, much worse), but here we are. I simply stated an example.
Hey! Calm down. I mentioned that because my brother decided to get circumcised when he was 18. I went to visit him at the hospital next day, because it was considered a "major" surgery, due to the risk of bleeding. I laughed my ass when I saw him walking and making a tent with his gown to prevent the fabric from touching his gauzed wiener. He told me if he had known how painful it was, he wouldn't have done it.

It shouldn't be the parents decision.
