"You will never know if the benefits outweigh the risks... " You're probably right. That's why it was a weighted decision based on the information available.

"You will never know if the benefits outweigh the risks... " You're probably right. That's why it was a weighted decision based on the information available. Your other points do not match the same model we used to make our decision. Flipping someone off or giving the middle finger is a choice that one can make, and later apologize for and move on. Penile cancer or many STDs do not fall into that category. I'm surprised that this topic is even on HN, and even more so by the presumptive and emotional responses that clearly didn't read the post in its entirety. So, I don't think this is a conversation I will engage in any further.
