I'm saying that All pain is the same to them as their nervous system has no ability to distinguish at the time (8 days old in Judaism). As a side note, my family was once a foster family and had a child that was circumcised at the age of 4. He didn't cry at all during the procedure. I also know someone who converted to Judaism. He had it done and he was in his 20's. I'd say that the pain is about comprable to that of an ear pierce. (when Judith and Hinda Tova get their ears pierced I'll listen in and report back).
>OK .. here is some video of a circumcision. That baby sounds like it's >doing a little more than complaining of the cold. > >http://www.cirp.org/library/procedure/plastibell/circ.mov I'll have to look at this when I get home as I can't see it at the moment. What I'm saying is that my experience, as someone being at a number of these events and standing anywhere from 3 feet to 10 feet away is that the screams are basically the same. I will be sure to make a specific note of it the next one I go to. >> >You can't convince me that that doesn't hurt like hell.

This ability comes in time but a newborn does not have it. ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
