George Hill

George Hill (born 1 June 1937 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA)

Hill early became aware of the function and value of the foreskin. When his son was born at the later infamous Northside Hospital in February 1979, Hill refused to permit a circumcision, citing the position of the AAP on lack of medical indication,[1] and resulting resulting in the displeasure of an OB-GYN who came early to the hospital hoping to collect a fee.

Hill attended the Second International Symposium at San Francisco in 1991 where he met many intactivists, including Ashley Montagu, Paul M. Fleiss, and Marilyn Milos.

He has kept up a lively correspondence with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC, and state Medicaid agencies nationwide.
