Circumcision, the surgical procedure that removes the penis foreskin, is currently a very hot topic. While it has long been a traditional practice in the United States to circumcise male babies, certain religions and cultures have strong beliefs against infant circumcision. The medical profession, recognizing that parents may have strong feelings, generally leaves this decision up to mom and dad. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics recently stated, “After looking at almost 40 years of research on the benefits and risks of circumcision, the AAP concluded that we can not recommend a policy of routine newborn circumcision.”
