@Continuity, I'm not sure I would do it for any kid. But at the same time, while there are risks, I don't see it affecting people in the abysmal way that you make it sound either. Do you care about piercing a baby's ear? It's not exactly the same thing, but the idea of a parent controlling a baby's body in some fashion and risking infection is there too.
(I'm 100% OK with ear piercings, to be clear, but I'm not making up my mind about a baby's circumcision until that time comes).
As the environment changes, so will the people within it. Now it looks like there are less people doing it, but maybe something else will come up in 20 years where the chart will peak up again.

I just had a boy 2 weeks ago and had him circumcised immediately.
I waited outside the room and heard him scream bloody murder while they were doing it and I felt like crying for doing that to him.
I dont know why I did it, I'm circumcised, my dad is circumcised, I never saw my grandpas penis but I'm pretty sure he was to.
I guess I didn't want him to ask why he looked different than his daddy and I didn't want him to have and extra 1/2 inch on me.
I couldn't imagine having it done latter in life, that would be way to painful.
The strangest thing was the Dr. asked if I wanted to keep it after they were done.

“exactly...it's not ruining any lives”
—monospacedBy the same token, I could repeatedly defecate on, then finger-fuck a baby for two-three months, without any lasting harm being done, given the vagueries of context and recall.
I'm fairly sure that's not ample justification though.

I have three children.
The middle child is my son, who is circumcised like all the male members of out family. What you may not know is the child is not fed on the day of circumcision, just in case, so they don't aspirate their vomit. I arrived just after it was done and found him screaming bloody blue murder in the hallway... hungry, alone, scared and hurting. I swore I'd never do it again and quite frankly carry the guilt of that decision to this day.
In this day and age, other than specific religious tenets, there is no reason to get it done.
