Schoen was the chair of the 1989 AAP task force on circumcision, which studied available data to consider recommending [[circumcision]] to parents. Schoen seized on very poor articles with methodological flaws by fellow circumfetisher [[Thomas E. Wiswell]] to advocate circumcision.

Given Schoen's history of circumcision advocacy and his position as taskforce chair, he may have influenced the committee significantly. In 1999, the AAP revised their circumcision policy statement. Their newer statement was more conservative about circumcision's potential benefits, saying that they did not outweigh the procedure's own risks, and recommended leaving the decision to parents based on their cultural traditions, in addition to the medical factors.<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> (''Potential'' means to exist in possibility but not in actuality, so a ''potential benefit'' is not a real benefit.) This was despite their own admission that evidence linking circumcision to prevention of any diseases was inconclusive, with the sole exception of penile cancer (which they noted was mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles). Given Schoen's history of circumcision advocacy and his position as task force chair, he may have influenced the committee significantly. While the statement spoke glowingly of circumcision, it made no formal recommendation for circumcision, perhaps on advice of counsel.

== Conclusion ==
 +
Edgar J. Schoen was both Jewish and a medical doctor. He evidently introduced his religion and views regarding the [[Abrahamic covenant]] into his medical practice. His misdeeds regarding [[circumcision]], with the assistance of the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]], prolonged the practice of [[Pain| painful]], [[Trauma| traumatic]], medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] by at least a decade and caused millions of American boys to suffer the unnecessary loss of a functional, erogenous part of their [[penis]].

The late Edgar J. Schoen (1925 – 2016) was a circumcised American Physician and worked as a Clinical Professor in Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco.[1] Schoen had a humorous poem about circumcision published in 1986.[2] This may have contributed to his being appointed as chairman of the new American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) task force on circumcision. (The AAP is a medical trade association which is noted for its bias in favor of non-therapeutic circumcision from which its members hugely profit.)

In 1987, Schoen was appointed head of the Task Force on Circumcision by the American Academy of Pediatrics,[3] where he pushed for "routine" (meaning without medical indication), non-therapeutic infant circumcision, but the neonatologists on Schoen's committee wouldn't go for it. According to Schoen, not performing circumcision would be "taking us back to nineteenth-century medicine on the eve of the 21st century," and that circumcision will prevent "dermatological problems".[4] Schoen associates with the Gilgal Society.[5]

Schoen was the chair of the 1989 AAP task force on circumcision, which studied available data to consider recommending circumcision to parents. Schoen seized on very poor articles with methodological flaws by fellow circumfetisher Thomas E. Wiswell to advocate circumcision. The task force concluded that "Newborn circumcision has potential medical benefits and advantages as well as disadvantages and risks".[6] (Potential means to exist in possibility but not in actuality, so a potential benefit is not a real benefit.) This was despite their own admission that evidence linking circumcision to prevention of any diseases was inconclusive, with the sole exception of penile cancer (which they noted was mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles). Given Schoen's history of circumcision advocacy and his position as task force chair, he may have influenced the committee significantly. While the statement spoke glowingly of circumcision, it made no formal recommendation for circumcision, perhaps on advice of counsel.

The 1989 AAP circumcision statement was not well received. Professor Ronald Poland, M. D., another member of the AAP task force, rejected Schoen's advocacy of non-therapeutic circumcision and published his own paper in which he argued against circumcision.[7]

In 1999, the AAP revised their circumcision policy statement. Their newer statement was more conservative about circumcision's potential benefits, saying that they did not outweigh the procedure's own risks, and recommended leaving the decision to parents based on their cultural traditions, in addition to the medical factors.[8]

Schoen's advocacy of circumcision had been thoroughly rejected prior to his death.[9]

Television

Schoen appeared in Penn & Teller's show, "Bullshit" for their circumcision episode. Penn reported that Schoen said circumcised penises smell and look better.[10] Schoen later recited some poetry reflective of his belief that the circumcised penis is a thing of beauty:

“ Schoen's Poetry
It's a great work of art like the statue of Venus if you're wearing a hat on the head of your penis.[11]

NOTE: The "hat" presumably referring to the visible glans.

Circlist

Schoen has been noted sending emails to and from the Circlist email list.[12] Circlist is a website and discussion group for men who sexually fantasize about performing and receiving circumcisions,[13] often on small children.[14]

Gilgal Society

Schoen is also listed as approving content for a Gilgal Society brochure.[15] Groups such as the Gilgal Society openly admit to a morbid fascination with circumcision to the point of sado-masochistic fetish. These groups advertise that doctors are among their members. There are those on the Internet who discuss the erotic stimulation they experience by watching other males being circumcised, swap fiction and about it, and trade in videotapes of actual circumcisions.[16]

Office

Schoen's former office was in the Julia Morgan building on Broadway that houses Kaiser Permanente's genetics department in San Fransico. Only a few yards from the home office of Daniel Halperin, assistant professor of anthropology at UCSF's Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPDS).[4]

Quote

“ Circumcision
It’s like apple pie. It’s part of being American.
– Schoen (J Weekly)[17]

Death

Schoen died in his sleep, at the age of 91 on 23 August 2016, surrounded by his family.[18]

Conclusion

Edgar J. Schoen was both Jewish and a medical doctor. He evidently introduced his religion and views regarding the Abrahamic covenant into his medical practice. His misdeeds regarding circumcision, with the assistance of the American Academy of Pediatrics, prolonged the practice of painful, traumatic, medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcision by at least a decade and caused millions of American boys to suffer the unnecessary loss of a functional, erogenous part of their penis.
