Sure.
Still doing it on 8th day is the best solution if done in proper way...most people don't mind it in general when its done to them as infants but have "ouch" feeling about the issue at later age.
I got to know some who people who circumcised at older age and it wasn't very encouraging.
On ethical level the argument stands on practical not so much.
Also the practical side is compatible with jewish religious practice.
Line should be drawn what is parents responsibility and what is not....but actually thinking about it there are countless thing that government can legislate for the "greater good".
