→Fate of the 2012 AAP Circumcision Policy Statement: Add text and Wikify.
Susan Black is an outstanding example of Jewish doctors who promote non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of boys for specious medical reasons.
==Fate of the 2012 AAP Circumcision Policy Statement==
The 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement received unrelenting critical comment from many sources, because of its significant omissions of the [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| function of the foreskin]], [[human rights]] issues, defective [[medical ethics]], inaccurate medical information, and many other reasons.<ref name="doc2013">{{REFweb

[[AAP ]] policies stand for five years unless renewed; this policy expired in 2017 and has ''not'' been renewed or reaffirmed. Currently, the AAP does ''not'' have a circumcision policy. This attempt to promote non-therapeutic circumcision in the [[United States]] backfired and results in a continually declining incidence of unnecessary non-therapeutic [[circumcision]], although the failed, rejected, former policy statement inexplicably remains on their website. The policy produced under Blank's direction was a total failure and brought discredit to the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] [[medical trade association]].
