Never mind guns; the real danger to American kids is foreskins" - — or so elements of the American medical industry would like us to believe.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
* Is it the prestige of scientific journals?
* Is it because babies can’t say No?
* Why is it that Americans cling to [[Routine Infant Circumcision| routine circumcision of male infants ]] when the rest of the developed world is trying to discourage or even prohibit the operation?
Are Americans really more afraid of [[foreskin| foreskins ]] than of homosexuals? In this provocative survey, medical historian Robert Darby aims to place this American exceptionalism in historical perspective and consider why — despite mounting opposition — circumcision still thrives in the [[United States ]] long after it has been abandoned by the other anglophone countries that originally took it up.
Covering the medical evidence, cultural/social factors, religion and bioethical aspects, as well as an analysis of the latest policy statement from the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]], this short book will appeal to anybody with an interest in sexuality, health, [[human rights]] and their own body.
