          #i2 11/17 is a deletion. Clearly, Dr Palmer would rather not defend the proposition that "[r]ecent studies suggest there may be a medical benefit to neonatal circumcision." This 2019 revision reflects the prevailing international medical consensus that the risks & harms of...

          14/17 discussion of "complications" will come in 3 parts: 1) Ridicule anyone who wants ethical rules applied to the foreskin in exactly the same way they are universally applied to all other anatomy (complete with puerile laughter from so-called "professionals" in the audience)
