'''Financial incentive''' in the [[United States]] to perform medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] is very large. Non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] is a multi-billion dollar industry. Morgan (1967) termed it "<i>chronic remunerative surgery</i>", since physicians are paid over and over again for performing unnecessary circumcision.<ref name="morgan1967">{{REFjournal |last=Morgan |first= |init=WKC |author-link=William Keith Campbell Morgan |etal=NO |title=Penile plunder |trans-title= |language= |journal=Med J Aust |location= |date=1967-05-27 |volume=1 |issue=21 |article= |page= |pages=1102-3 |url=https://www.cirp.org/library/general/morgan2/ |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=4226264 |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.5694/j.1326-5377.1967.tb20892.x |doi= |accessdate=2024-05-22}}</ref> Profit is reaped not only from the practice of [[circumcision ]] itself, and associated hospital charges, but also from the sale of harvested [[Foreskin| foreskins]], the sale of products derived from harvested foreskins, the sale of circumcision specific tools and utensils, and the treatment of [[Complication| complications]] and botched circumcisions.
