I wonder if removing a woman's cervix would also prevent it. :/
As much as that I don't want cervical cancer, I still don't think that surgery like that on infants is worth it. Almost all forms of HPV don't cause cervical cancer. Some do. Somewhere between 25% and 50% of all women have HPV, according to my doctor. Only 10% have been diagnosed with it.
I think I'd need to see more dramatic numbers before thinking that it's worth circumcision.
