You are quite negatively opinionated on an
action that produces clear long term health benefits.

"Greater Benefits of Infant Circumcision
Commentary: Benefits extend into adulthood, says Johns Hopkins 
adolescent medicine specialist

10/15/2012
Arik Marcell
Johns Hopkins Adolescent Medicine Specialist Arik Marcell, M.D., M.P.H., 
outlines circumcision's medical benefits.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently published (Pediatrics, 
September 2012) a policy statement on the medical circumcision of male 
newborns. While determining that the procedure’s benefits outweigh its 
risks, AAP does not go so far as to recommend universal newborn 
circumcision, saying instead that the decision should be left to parents 
“to make in the context of their religious, ethical and cultural beliefs.”

The preventive and public health benefits associated with newborn male 
circumcision, however, “warrant third-party reimbursement of the 
procedure,” including Medicaid, says AAP. It goes on to recommend that 
circumcision in infancy be performed by “trained and competent 
providers, using sterile techniques and effective pain management.”

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, a flap of skin 
that covers the tip of the penis. The first revision of its circumcision 
stance in 13 years, the AAP’s new policy takes into account significant 
studies, including a recent one from Johns Hopkins, that link 
circumcision to decreased risk over a lifetime for some forms of cancer, 
including penile and cervical, and the spread and heterosexual 
acquisition of HIV, human papilloma virus (HPV), genital herpes and 
syphilis. Much of the new scientific research, since the previous AAP 
policy of 1999, has taken place in Africa, where the prevalence of 
sexually transmitted infections, HIV in particular, is high and increasing.

Such newly and widely documented health benefits, says the AAP in 
related literature, are great enough that the insurance should cover the 
cost of circumcision, “which would increase access to the procedure for 
families who choose it.”
