The United States is unique in having a medical industry that aggressively promotes the practice of medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic, harmful infant [[circumcision]]. The decline of the unnecessary practice has been slowed by continual encouragement and promotion of circumcision by the medical industry. However, the practice of non-therapeutic circumcision of boys is now in decline.
