A man in South Dakota is suing the hospital where he was circumcised as a newborn, saying he only recently became aware that he'd undergone the procedure and that it robbed him of his sexual prowess.
28-year-old Dean Cochrun is asking for $1,000 dollars in punitive damages from Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls. He claims an unknown doctor at the hospital, then named the Sioux Valley Hospital, led his mother to believe the procedure was medically necessary.
He argues the circumcision was not necessary, unethical and without medical benefit.

He should get paid.
One of my son`s needed circumcising when he was nearly 4 due to a very tight skin which kept becoming inflamed, he`s never suffered any ill affects + now has 3 children.
So what`s the problem with this feller. He`s just looking for money, $1000 is`nt much though !!.
Go ask someone to explain to you just what that means. Ignorant indeed!
1887: 10% of the U.S. male population circumcised:
"There can be no doubt of [masturbation's] injurious effect, and of the proneness to practice it on the part of children with defective brains. Circumcision should always be practiced. It may be necessary to make the genitals so sore by blistering fluids that pain results from attempts to rub the parts."

I wonder how you would have liked having parts of you removed as a child .
