Given the foregoing, one might wonder how parental permission for | |||
routine circumcision could ever be effective, even if physicians comply | |||
with the requirements of informed permission. Like all surgical | |||
procedures, circumcision should not be subject to authorization by a | |||
surrogate for an incompetent patient unless it is medically necessary. | |||
While there is some dispute in the American medical community today as | |||
to whether routine circumcision provides any medical benefit, absolutely | |||
no one in the medical community seriously maintains that it is medically | |||
necessary or that it corrects an existing injury, disease or malfunction.<ref name="svoboda2000">{{REFjournal | |||
