==Male circumcision== | |||
The World Health Organization has reconsidered its position regarding male [[circumcision]]. It published a new 42-page position statement in the Spring of 2026. The statement is silent regarding the adverse, harmful [[Sexual injury of circumcision| sexual]] and [[Psychological injury of male circumcision| psychological]] effects of male circumcision. It is also silent regarding [[human rights]] and [[Ethics of non-therapeutic child circumcision| ethical]] issues. It seems to be more of a political document than a medical document. The recognition of its publication does not constitute a recommendation.<ref>{{REFbook | |||
