You missed the point in my post concerning human rights. IF you believe in human rights, then these rights should extend to all humans. Beginning with our infant sons. Circumcision is a direct violation of our basic human rights. I have Nobel Laureattes, human rights activists, and great people like Dr. Jonas Salk, (polio vaccine creator) that are in agreement with me. That RIC-routine infant circumcision should end. Go visit my website and learn the truth about male circumcision. Boys here and around the world have died from this insanity. Some boys have had their entire glan removed. Visit our website. You just might learn the truth.

Circumcision was first adopted in 1860 as
a misguided attempt to curb masturbation!

A Short History of Circumcision in the U.S. in Physicians' Own Words

1860: 0.001% of the U.S. male population circumcised
"In cases of masturbation we must, I believe, break the habit by inducing such a condition of the parts as will cause too much local suffering to allow of the practice being continued. For this purpose, if the prepuce is long, we may circumcise the male patient with present and probably with future advantage; the operation, too, should not be performed under chloroform, so that the pain experienced may be associated with the habit we wish to eradicate."
Athol A. W. Johnson, On An Injurious Habit Occasionally Met with in Infancy and Early Childhood, The Lancet, vol. 1 (7 April 1860)

1887: 10% of the U.S. male population circumcised
"There can be no doubt of [masturbation's] injurious effect, and of the proneness to practice it on the part of children with defective brains. Circumcision should always be practiced. It may be necessary to make the genitals so sore by blistering fluids that pain results from attempts to rub the parts."
Angel Money, Treatment of Disease in Children. Philadelphia: P. Blakiston. 1887, p. 421.

1971: 90% of the U.S. male population circumcised
"There are no valid medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal period."
Committee On Fetus and Newborn. Standards and Recommendations for Hospital Care of Newborn Infants, 5th edition. Evanston, IL: American Academy of Pediatrics. 1971. p. 110.

1994: 60% of newborn males in the U.S. circumcised
"Circumcision causes pain, trauma, and a permanent loss of protective and erogenous tissue ... Removing normal, healthy, functioning tissue for no medical reason has ethical implications: circumcision violates the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 5) and the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 13)."
Leo Sorger, To ACOG [American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology]: Stop Circumcisions, Ob Gyn News, 1 Nov. 1994, p. 8.
