The American Academy of Pediatrics should revise its inhumane guidelines on circumcision. If there is no religious or medical reason for a male infant to be circumcised, this elective procedure should be outlawed for its lack of informed consent and unnecessary surgical risk.

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that confers actual surgical risk to the male infant. Condoms are far more effective than circumcision in preventing HIV and other STDs so why is there a need for such an invasive and permanent surgery. Condoms prevent unwanted pregnancy too.

CDC's view of circumcision is rejected by most of the world's physicians. It carries a risk of death which, no matter how slight, clearly outweighs the purported benefits. Only infants can't get general anesthetic for it, so it's nonsense to say it's less traumatic for them. #i2
