AAP Circumcision Task Force 2012: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The ~~persons listed here are members~~ of the [[~~American_Academy_of_Pediatrics|~~American Academy of ~~Pediatrics~~]] Task Force ~~responsible~~ for the ~~2012 Policy Statement on Circumcision~~, ~~as listed at the end of the Policy Statement.<ref> AAP policies stand for five years unless renewed; this policy expired in 2017. Currently~~, the AAP ~~does not have a circumcision policy~~.

The decision to create a new Circumcision Policy Statement was taken in 2008, jointly with two other medical trade associations of doctors who perform and profit from circumcisions, the [[American Academy of Family Physicians]] and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The obvious goal of the Task Force was preservation of [[third-party payment]], which accounts for the presence of Steven Wegner, MD, JD, representing the AAP Committee on Child Health Financing.

It appears that not a single individual on the Task Force was possessed of a [[foreskin]], a normal male body part, so had no personal knowledge of the foreskin, that is amputated by [[circumcision]], and could not have an informed opinion.

The 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement received unrelenting critical comment from many sources, because of its significant omissions of the function of the foreskin, human rights issues, and many other things.

AAP policies stand for five years unless renewed; this policy expired in 2017. Currently, the AAP does not have a circumcision policy.
