==Termination of AAP circumcision policy==
THE 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement produced by the task force on which Andrew Freeman served has had severe and unrelenting criticism from many sources and for many reasons.
The AAP has a long-standing policy that its published policies and statements expire after five years unless re-affirmed. The AAP has ''not'' re-affirmed the statements below so they expired on 31 August 2017. The AAP now has ''no'' official position on non-therapeutic circumcision of boys.
