I don't think any doctor performs circumcision "just for looks." Hopefully not. I don't personally see anything wrong with an uncircumcised penis at all, in fact, it really should be up to the parents.

All I'm saying is that the reasons for doing it aren't designed to hurt kids or make them feel sexually unhappy. Same with a child that has male and female sexual characteristics - at some point there you as a parent will make a decision, to remove the male genitalia or allow the kid to be hermaphroditic - the choice you make isn't based on a desire to hurt the child, but on what you think will be a healthy benefit for them.
