CIRCUMCISION CUTS THROUGH US ALL. | |||
In her eye-opening memoir, [[Georganne Chapin]] exposes the business of medical [[circumcision]]. This unnecessary and most common pediatric surgery in the [[United States of America|United States]] permanently reduces the size and alters the function of a boy's [[penis]] for the rest of his life. Every year, nearly 1.5 million baby boys are assaulted in American hospitals and doctors' offices, subjecting them to pain, functional and psychological damage, and a forever-altered sexual experience. Chapin traces circumcision's U.S. roots from 19th Century fears of [[masturbation]] to stereotypes about race, class, religion, and male sexuality. She describes how what started as a way to keep men and women from enjoying sex morphed into a for-profit medical practice — one that is rare or unknown in Europe, non-Muslim Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, she shows how physician organizations, especially the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] (AAP), have worked for decades to fraudulently promote circumcision's [[Arguments pro circumcision|supposed benefits]] and suppress facts about circumcision harm and [[death]]s, and how they refuse to acknowledge the procedure as a gross violation of basic [[medical ethics]]. Indeed, the AAP now characterizes [[MGM|male genital mutilation]] as a matter of "culture" and "parental preference" — a position that, conveniently, shields trade associations and their physician members from legal and financial liability. This book is a punch-in-the-gut wake-up call that will enrage and empower anyone impacted by the [[Financial incentive|multi-billion-dollar penis business]]. | |||
