===Text=== | |||
The description of the [[foreskin]] is seriously deficient in its discussion of the [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| functions of the foreskin]]. The statement does not contain current information on [[HIV]] infection. The statement is silent regarding the adverse, harmful [[Sexual injury of circumcision| sexual]] and [[Psychological injury of male circumcision| psychological]] effects of male circumcision. It is also silent regarding [[human rights]] and [[Ethics of non-therapeutic child circumcision| ethical]] issues. It seems to be more of a political document with something for all, rather than a medical document.<ref>{{REFbook | |||
