What percentage of major medical organizations are for circumcision?!


Question: What percentage of major medical organizations are for circumcision?
I need a percentage of important medical organisations.

Because what I read is that no major medical organization recommends it ? Did I miss read it or something?

Answers:

correct no one recommends it for children.

Perhaps the most shocking fact is that circumcision continues to be practiced in the United States even though no official western medical organization in the world recommends it. The Royal Dutch Medical Society, The British Medical Association, the Canadian Pediatric Society, and the Royal Australian College of Physicians have all made official policy statements against circumcision. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American Urological Association all do not recommend circumcision, and are also in agreement that there are no proven benefits.

However the WHO and The CDC allow only voluntary sexually active adult male circ in Africa because it might prevent HIV and they are desperate to end the endemic. Children born today will have a HIV vaccinate by the time there adults, so no reason for human rights violations.



Not a single medical organization worldwide explicitly recommends circumcision, but very few have spoken out against it (a notable exception being the Royal Dutch Medical Association). Although the other medical associations have noted the lack of medical benefits, very few are willing to speak out against it because of the fear of being perceived as religiously intolerant and because of a cultural familiarity with the practice.

You read correctly.

Currently, no major medical organization in the world recommends circumcision. Many take a neutral stance and leave it to the decision of the parents with the guidance of the kid's doctor. Some medical organizations, such as the Dutch, have recommended against circumcision. I believe Australia also recommends against, but to a lesser degree (in a sense).

That said, the WHO (World Health Organization) and the US CDC (US Centers for Disease Control) have made an "exception" of sorts saying that it may be good for adults in areas with high HIV rates to voluntarily get circumcised. But neither the WHO or CDC recommend circumcision for infants.



Uhh zero. Why would mutilating your penis be recommended by a legitimate organization? The better question is why are you still allowed to pass this sick tradition onto your children in this day n' age without getting locked up?



Medical organizations do not recommend routine infant circumcision. That means no one thinks it's a good idea to cut infants just because. Foreskins are cool. You read correctly.



There is none
