Professor [[Alfonso Cepeda-Emiliani]], in a presentation in Brisbane, Australia, has called attention to the unethical nature of the practice of penile neurotomy (PN).

Adverse effects after circumcision, as reported by Cepeda-Emiliani , are normal and include loss of [[erogenous sensation of the foreskin]] and [[Psychological injury of male circumcision| mental effects]] up to and including [[suicide]].
