* '''Ashley Trueman''', BS, MS, MCert Philosophy, Director of Education with [[Your Whole Baby]], developed “The Foreskin and Circumcision: Facts you need to know to make an informed decision”, a two-hour class curriculum for expectant parents, which she presented at the [[Thirteenth International Symposium]] on Genital Autonomy and Children's Rights. To date, her presentation to more than 300 couples has a 100% success rate for saving boys from circumcision. Circumcision first got on Ashley’s radar when a baby died shortly after his circumcision at a pediatric office where she worked as an undergraduate student. Many years later, her office shared a wall with the “circumcision room” of a pediatrician/mohel and that’s what drove her to activism and eventually back to school to study bioethics. Ashley began her bioethics training at {{UNI|Georgetown University|GU}} before moving to England to study philosophy with a focus in bioethics at {{UNI|Oxford University|Oxon}}. She also holds degrees from {{UNI|Arizona State University|ASU}} and {{UNI|Tulane University|TUNO}}. New Haven, {{USSC|CT}}, USA.
