== Circumcision in New Zealand ==
The incidence of male neonatal non-therapeutic medically unnecessary [[circumcision ]] in New Zealand among white New Zealanders rose to about 95 percent in the 1940s. The incidence of male neonatal non-therapeutic circumcision started to decline about 1950. The decline seems to have been triggered by the publication of [[Douglas Gairdner]]'s classic 1949 paper, ''The Fate of the Foreskin: A Study of Circumcision''<ref name="gairdner1949">{{REFjournal
