A panel was supposed to engage in "multidimensional discussion" of the ethical questions raised by the practice of [[circumcision]], the wide array of varied views and circumcision and the supposed "social and cultural contexts that shape those views." The audience was invited to participate in discussion.<ref>{{REFnews | last=Dannenmaier | first=Molly | coauthors= | url=http://galvestondailynews.com/story/320846 | titlename="UTMB invites public to symposium on circumcision | publisher= | work=The Daily News | quote=The panel will engage in a multidimensional discussion... | date=12 Jun 2012 | accessdate=2012-06-16}}<"/ref>
