→RACP 2022 statement: typo
== RACP 2022 statement ==
There really was nothing wrong with the 2010 RACP statement on circumcision of infant males that required change. The RACP evidently had a change of policy that it would promote [[circumcision]] to the Australasian public at the cost of additional [[pain]], [[trauma]], and loss of [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| physiological function]] to infant boys in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]].

In a glaring display of medical ineptitude, the 2022 RACP statement cited the 2012 [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] statement, which had expired five years before in 2017 and no longer was an official statement. One should also be aware of the citation of papers by circumcision promoter [[Brian Morris]].
The RACP evidently wanted to do what it could to increase the revenue of its members from infant [[circumcision]] and to shift responsibilty for the certain injury from the surgeon to the parents.
