Ethical and Human Right Considerations
Many medical bodies consider that circumcision should not be carried out as a routine procedure. The American Academy of Pediatrics say the benefits of circumcision are “not significant enough” to recommend routine circumcision. Other bodies include the Australasian Pediatric surgeons, The Canadian Pediatric Society. It is becoming more established that the removal of normal genitalia should be delayed until the individual can give informed consent themselves.
