==Solicitation for circumcision surgery== | |||
[[Intact America]] commissioned a survey by Qualtrics of the number of times that parents are solicited for a consent for non-therapeutic infant circumcision. The average was 8 times, which resulted in a 143 percent increase in the number of non-therapeutic, medically-unnecessary circumcisions carried out.<ref name="intactamerica2020">{{REFweb | |||

|quote=Each year, an estimated 1.5 million baby boys are [[circumcised]] in American medical settings. Intact America estimates that if circumcision solicitations were to cease, 600,000 boys—and the men they will become—would be spared every year from the [[trauma]] and lifelong consequences of the procedure. | |||
}} </ref> Giving in to the constant solicitation means that two charges will be incurred: | |||
# A hospital service charge or facility fee. | |||
# A physician's fee. | |||
Parents are reminded that neonatal [[circumcision]] has no [[medical indication]], does not treat disease, causes [[trauma]], is non-therapeutic, unnecessary, and causes life-long irreversible harm because of the loss of the [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| multi-functional foreskin]].<ref>{{REFjournal | |||
