Website named "Healthy Children"

The Website named "Healthy Children" is owned and operated by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a medical trade association, and is used to promote the business and income of its claimed 67,000 pediatrician members. The website is published in both English and Spanish versions.

Circumcision information

As one would expect, the website provides the advice of the AAP regarding child circumcision.

The website formerly provided a message that appeared to be based on the embarrassing, discredited Circumcision Policy Statement of September 2012 that was allowed to quietly expire in August 2017 without being re-affirmed.

The old statement has been removed and replaced in September 2025 by a new statement, which the AAP falsely claims was generated by artificial intelligence (AI). True artificial intelligence searches the world-wide-web for information, however this so-called "Generative AI Overview" only provides information from the Healthy Children website, so it is false, not genuine AI, and may be fraudulent.

We now know that non-therapeutic infant circumcision does lasting, irreversible harm to the patient, however the AAP maintains its silence on the harmful nature of foreskin amputation. As before, physician profit remains more important to the AAP, than patient health and well-being.

Surrogate consent

When the patient is a minor, then surrogate consent is usually granted by a parent acting as surrogate. There are ethical limitations on the surrogate.

"Circumcision" actually is an irreversible amputation of a functional body part. It can lawfully be performed only if someone has granted a valid consent for the amputation.
