The AAP quite clearly says they ARE NOT recommending circumcision. They merely state that the VERY limited set of risks and drawbacks they evaluated do not outweigh the VERY CHERRYPICKED benefits they compiled.
But other medical societies have looked at the same issue and reached the opposite conclusion.
Germany's PAP says it's "a scandal" to allow forced genital cutting of infants. Holland's recent KNMG policy says infant circumcision has "an absence of medical benefits and danger of complications." Perhaps not coincidentally, in places where doctors are on salary rather then getting paid per procedure, they don't find the procedure warranted.
Foreskin feels REALLY good. HIS body, HIS decision.
