Circumcision Video


GRAPHIC - VIEW WITH CAUTION


This circumcision video is graphic in nature.  The baby is screaming throughout with no pain relief whatsoever.  The doctor is also taking his sweet time as the infant struggles in pain.


If you find this disturbing, just imagine how the baby feels.


One of the biggest perpetuators of circumsion is the myth that it is keeps boys cleaner or that "everyone's doing it".


Due to years of misinformation, this is the widely-held American perspective.  However, circumcision is not a worldwide practice. 82% of men worlwide are intact.  Thankfully, the rates of circumcision are still declining as more and more people have access to the evidence that circumsion is not a medical procedure, but is plastic surgery on a penis.


This video details the insidious nature of circumcision as a routine American procedure:


The decision to  circumcise must be made with the utmost consideration for immediate and future implications for your son.  As more parents have access to informed consent and evidence-based practice, more parents are making the decision to forego a cosmetic circumcision.
