I'm so annoyed by this I can't even tell you! personally I wouldn't pierce a baby's ear that's my opinion but I wouldn't tell another mum other wise....but saying it's just as cosmetic as a circumcision is ridiculous...do your research and you will find a long list of issues caused by foreskin making a circumcision necessary that can not only be hereditary but crazy traumatic to experience later in life! don't try to justify your opinion with something that's plain not true! everyone should read up on things before committing to them period...rant done thank You!
