'''Marilyn Fayre Milos''', {{RN}}, ({{LifeData|birth=1940-03-22| birthplace=San Mateo, CA| birthcountry=USA}}), who has championed the rights of infants and children to bodily integrity and [[genital autonomy]] since witnessing [[circumcision]] as a nursing student in 1979, spoke at the [[WWDOGA]] in 2015. She has studied at the [https://www1.marin.edu/ College of Marin].
== Memberships ==
== Support for [[genital autonomy]] ==
Milos, who supports [[genital autonomy]] for all children, bases her arguments on the fact that the [[foreskin]] is a normal body structure with [[Foreskin#Protective_functions| protective, immunological, and sexual functions]], and that every child has an inherent right to [[Physical integrity| bodily integrity ]] and [[genital autonomy]] (personal choice).<ref>"Marilyn Milos and Donna Macris note that some have claimed that the [[foreskin ]] provides a protective covering for the [[glans]], making the [[uncircumcised]] [[penis ]] more sensitive during sexual activity." Stephen Garrard Post, ed., ''Encyclopedia of Bioethics'', 5 vols (3rd edition; New York: MacMillan Reference, 2004), vol. 1, p. 422</ref><ref>; see also {{Sorrells etal 2007}}</ref> She also believes that [[circumcision ]] of infants should be seen as a [[human rights]] issue:
Milos serves on the Board of Directors of [[Intact America]].
