There is no compelling medical necessity or religious imperative for the circumcision of male Christians in the US. And yet it is a "routine" procedure. Why is that?
Here is one possibility - it started with the intentional harvesting of foreskin tissue for medical experimentation and vaccine production:
"[John] Enders, at Boston Children’s Hospital, was working on a measles vaccine for the military when he discovered the trypsinization trick that allowed polio to grow in human foreskins and mass produce vaccines."

A war of words over a somewhat related issue, the use of human fetal tissue for medical experimentation, has been going on in the US Congress. You can read about it here:

A key aspect of that discussion is whether alternatives to the use of such tissue exist. Some say yes, some say no.
But I'd be willing to bet that human foreskins are no longer necessary for the advancement of medical science. Should that be the case, and if there is no other meaningful use for them, the harvesting of human foreskins and the routine practice of circumcision of male newborns should be halted.
What kind of sick person allows their baby to be mutilated in this fashion anyway?
