The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers has posted a very informative video on their website (www.nocirc.org). I highly recommend watching it if you are wanting more information about circumcision of boys. They state the following on their site:
What you need to know…
No national or international medical association recommends routine circumcision.
Only the USA circumcises the majority of newborn boys without medical or religious reason.
Medicalized circumcision began during the 1800s to prevent masturbation, which was believed to cause disease.
Today’s parents are learning that the foreskin is a normal, protective, functioning organ.
Today’s parents realize circumcision harms and has unnecessary risks.
Circumcision denies a male’s right to genital integrity and choice for his own body.
Watch how a baby is born by cesarean section and see the dramatic difference of what both the mother and baby experience in a home water birth after cesarean.
