This is a video produced by the [[circumcision industry ]] to inform parents and subtly encourage medically unnecessary, non-therapeutic infant [[circumcision]]. It briefly explains the [[Plastibell]] and [[Gomco]] methods.
It claims "potential" benefits, which are unproven, conjectural ideas of possible benefits that might exist in possibility, but can not be shown to exist in reality. It does not discuss, [[pain]], [[trauma]], [[complication| complications]], permanent loss of [[Sexual_effects_of_circumcision#Penile_sensitivity_and_sexual_sensation| sexual sensation]], and other [[Risks and complications| risks and complications]] of [[circumcision]], nor does it discuss the nature and [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| physiological functions]] of the [[foreskin]]. It should be classed as propaganda for the [[circumcision industry]].
The video cites certain claims of benefits that were previously made by the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] (AAP). It should be noted that the AAP withdrew its claims in August 2017 and now makes no claims of benefits for medically unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]].
