The vast majority of circumcisions performed in the United States are medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcisions performed on newborn infants in which there is no medical indication or disease of any kind present.
Unlike preparations for other surgeries, it is not customary to test baby boys for their blood clotting ability prior to the excision and [[amputation]] of the [[foreskin]]. In ancient times, another measure was taken to "protect" e.g. Jewish infants who did not have blood clotting abilities: The fact that circumcision on Jewish infants regularly led to [[Death| deaths]] is shown by the fact that the Talmud of Babylon, Yebamoth 64b,<ref>[http://www.come-and-hear.com/yebamoth/yebamoth_64.html Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Yebamoth]</ref> provides for when the first two (or three) sons have died after circumcision, subsequent sons no longer need to be [[circumcised]].


Newborn infants, which weigh only a few pounds, have very little blood in their tiny bodies. Loss of only a slight amount of blood can and does cause exsangination and  ''hypovolemic shock''.<ref>{{REFweb
The vast majority of circumcisions performed in the [[United States]] are medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcisions performed on newborn infants in which there is no [[medical indication]] or disease of any kind present. Such circumcisions expose the infant boy to all surgical risks without any compensating health benefit.
 
Newborn infants, which weigh only a few pounds, have very little blood in their tiny bodies, so any bleeding is a very serious matter. Loss of only a slight amount of blood can and does cause [[exsanguination]] and  ''hypovolemic [[shock]]''.<ref>{{REFweb

== What the AAP says ==
The [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] (AAP) issued its last position statement on male circumcision in 2012. That statement has received unrelenting critical comment since its publication.  Under AAP policy, every statement expires after five years unless re-affirmed.  The circumcision statement has not been affirmed, so it expired in 2017. At the present time (2020) the AAP has ''no'' policy statement on circumcision.
