Then why are ALL the medical organizations on OUR side?
http://www.fathermag.com/health/circ/
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is the highest child health
authority in the United States. On 1 March 1999 the AAP released its
long-awaited recommendations on circumcision. The AAP News Release Video
stated, "The AAP does not recommend the policy of routine newborn
circumcision..."

Institution Advocates Circumcision
American Medical Association No
American Cancer Society No
Center for Disease Control No
National Institute of Health No
American Academy of Pediatrics No
Pediatric Urologists Association No
Amer. College of Obst. & Gyn. No
other countries
Canadian Pediatric Society No
Canadian Medical Association No
European Medical Societies (any) No

All of these public health authorities take seriously their
responsibility to protect your child's health. None of them advise you
to circumcise your child.

Now I will leave it to you to find some that recommend routine medical
circs. Game...set...match.
