There is hardly a reason to circumcise a little boy for medical reasons because those medical reasons don’t exist, said Dr. Michael Wilks, Head of Ethics at the British Medical Association, who admitted that doctors have circumcised boys for no good reason. In the United States, parts of Africa, the Middle East, and in the Muslim world, 13.3 million infant boys and 2 million girls have part or all of their external sex organs cut off for reasons that defy logic and violate basic human rights. Doctors, parents, and politicians have been misled into thinking that circumcision is beneficial, necessary, and harmless. InCircumcision and human rights, internationally respected experts in the fields of medicine, science, politics, law, ethics, sociology, anthropology, history, and religion present the latest research on this tragedy, as a part of the worldwide campaign to end sexual mutilation. Provides the latest information on the topics of male and female circumcision Reveals how male and female circumcision violates law and ethics Exposes the harmful effects of male and femalegenital cutting and female genital modification
