Talk:Neil Pollock
Self promotion
Neil Pollock likes to promote infant circumcision and his business wherever possible. In this article he is seen going as far as Africa to do so, but there are other instances where he has shamelessly seized the opportunity to plug circumcision and his "bloodless, painless" method (nothing more than the Mogen method). In one instance, he takes advantage to plug his business just after death of a boy who bled to death after his circumcision. In another, he was scheduled to appear on a talk show to talk about circumcision. He calls in to cancel his appearance at the very last minute, and takes advantage of the time given to him to, once again, promote his business. He is seen doing this yet again in a recent interview with Marilyn Milos:
It must be mentioned on this profile how much Neil Pollock likes to shamefully take any opportunity to promote circumcision and to promote his business. Such a person who has vested financial and religious interests in circumcision cannot possible be an objective reliable source of information regarding the subject.Orly21 20:58, 10 April 2011 (CDT)
Edgar Schoen talks to Neil Pollack
Looks like Schoen and Pollack have been in contact.

More deliberate misinformation
Apparently, there is a video where Neil Pollock performs one of his "thirty second circumcisions" on a baby, and then proceeds to call the synechia between the foreskin and the glans "smegma." Does anybody have this video? Because if so, then it needs to be on here. If what I've heard is true, then Pollock either deliberately lying to his audience, or he really is that ignorant concerning the normal development of human male genitalia.Orly21 01:34, 17 May 2011 (CDT)

- It's at 2 minutes and 15 seconds. To put this on the article, we need a source about the preputial membrane (it's common knowledge among intactivists and doctors in non-circumcising cultures, but we need a medical source).--Thedirt 01:56, 17 May 2011 (CDT)
