Last Piece of Meat

NSC.. seeking opinions on a delicate subject.. I know Rocks Off-ers come from all around the globe, so I'm hoping for some other perspectives on this.
I live in midwestern US, my wife is 8 months pregnant with our first boy, and as far as she is concerned, it is a foregone conclusion that the child will be circumcised (as am I, and probably 98% of the males either of us know).
I've read recent articles claiming that the health benefits (disease prevention) of the procedure are either inconclusive or insignificant.
So I feel conflicted over the idea of putting my son thru non-elective (for him) surgery for the reason of "well... everyone else has it done"... I've stumbled over enough online porn in the last few years to begin to realize that's not true.
Personally, I can't say that I regret it was done to me, but I don't know any different.
Anyone with kids gone thru this thinking, or it simpler just to go "like father, like son", and be done with it?
Also curious to hear female perspectives on the difference, as it relates to my son when he becomes sexually active. I literally can't find anyone locally to have this discussion with.. "Hey Sally, you've slept with a lot of guys, surely one of them was uncut..."
