==Conclusion==
The article entitled "Redundant Prepuce", provided by the Cleveland Clinic, is filled with Midwestern [[bias]] against the [[foreskin]], and lacks understanding of the nature and function of the [[foreskin]]. It is NOT recommended.
The article entitled "Redundant Prepuce", provided by the Cleveland Clinic, is filled with Midwestern [[bias]] against the [[foreskin]], and lacks understanding of the nature and function of the [[foreskin]]. It is NOT recommended. "Redundant prepuce" is a false diagnosis that has been claimed by certain doctors who generate additional income by performing [[adult circumcision]].


'''Long foreskins''' should not be described as "redundant", "excess", or "extra". It is a multi-functional, protective, sensitive, erogenous part of the normal [[penis]].<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref>

[[Foreskinned]] men should be wary and cautious regarding claims by urologic surgeons, who [[financial incentive| profit from circumcision]], that a long [[foreskin]] is somehow unhealthy and should have an [[amputation]].
