American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: Difference between revisions

}}</ref> Thereby ACOG repeats the (now disproved) allegations of the [[WHO]] and the [[AAP]], [[circumcision]] that medically-unnecessary. non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] would have more advantages than [[Circumcision risks| disadvantages]] and would protect against various diseases. ACOG has not recognized that baby boys are human persons who have a right to the integrity of their persons under international [[human rights]] law and domestic law. ACOG provides no information to parents on the nature and function of the [[foreskin]], which is amputated by circumcision. ACOG does not discuss the conflict of interest between the infant boy's rights to his bodily integrity, his [[foreskin]], his [[human rights]], and his well-being; and the obstetrician's interest in maximizing his income. This is a serious breach of medical ethics, which requires complete disclosure of all material information before granting [[informed consent]].
