'''Daniel T. Halperin''' , Ph.D., has published several papers on [[circumcision]] for [[HIV]] prevention,<ref>{{REFweb

Bailey]] published an article in the ''Lancet'' criticizing the public-health community for not pushing [[circumcision]]. Today, Halperin is the Senior Research Scientist at the Harvard AIDS Prevention Research Project.<ref>{{REFweb

His grandfather was a [[mohel]], born in Russia, died in Chicago. "I don't have an agenda about [[Foreskin| foreskins]]" said Halperin in an interview for the ''Eastbay Express''. When asked if being Jewish affects his [[Bias|pro-circumcision bias]], he denied it, but said that his [[Judaism]] has "crept in now and then". He explains, "think of it as maybe a kind of health/cultural innovation ahead of it's time. So it's made me appreciate my own heritage more. And who knows, maybe finding out to my surprise that my own granddad was a Mohel mohel was a weird kind of confirmation that I'm maybe in some small way 'destined' to help pass along this health benefit to people in parts of the world where it could really make a difference and perhaps save many lives." <ref name=Slack2000>{{REFjournal
