I've gotten accustomed to hearing cryonics being described here as the obvious thing to do at the end of your natural life, the underlying assumption apparently being that you'd be hopelessly dumb if you didn't jump at the chance of getting a tremendous potential benefit at a comparatively negligible cost.

So, I have a calibration question for male LWers who come from Jewish families: What is your opinion on foreskin restoration surgery?

That's just stretching skin out, right? It wouldn't increase innervation, so it doesn't seem that valuable if one likes sexual pleasure but isn't particularly attached to the idea of having a foreskin.

I could be wrong. If there's a surgery that can add erogenous tissue to one's body, why stop at the foreskin? This would be highly munchkinable.
