===Mixing religion and medical science===
Goldman (1999) points out that some physicians allow their religious views on circumcision to influence the outcomes of scientific paper regarding male circumcision. This has created many scientifically flawed studies that distort and , confuse the circumcision issue, and [[bias]] the outcome in favor of circumcision.<ref name="goldman1999" /> Some examples are [[Abraham L. Wolbarst]], Ernest Hand, Abraham Ravich, [[Edgar J. Schoen]], and [[Aaron J. Fink]]. ===Circumcised doctors and circumcision policy=== Goldman observes when circumcised doctors are appointed to a committee to develop circumcision policy they bring their cultural and personal biases to the table.<ref name="goldman2005">{{REFjournal |last=Goldman |first=Ronald |author-link=Ronald Goldman |etal=no |title=Circumcision policy: a psychosocial perspective |trans-title= |language= |journal=Paedatrics & Child Health (Ottawa) |location= |date=2005-11 |volume=9 |issue=9 |pages=630-3. |url=https://www.circumcision.org/wp-content/docs/CircumcisionPolicy_A_Psychosocial_Perspective.pdf |quote= |pubmedID=19675851 |pubmedCID=2724127 |DOI=10.1093/pch/9.9.630 |accessdate=2019-12-09}}</ref>
