	Jews are cirmcumcised on the EIGTH day, not the sixth.
Your other information is also suspect. Babies often sleep through the
entire ceremony or after being given a little ceremonial wine.
As for 1 out of 50,000 being botched, the operation (and it IS an
operation) is such a simple one that I doubt your figures apply to anyone
qualified.
