Adult candidates for surgery are required to have a work-up to determine their suitability for surgery, however infant boys do not receive the same consideration. The [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] long has stated that [[circumcision]] should only be performed when the infant boy is "stable and healthy", but nothing is done to verify the suitability of the infant for [[pain| painful]], [[trauma| traumatic]] surgery. Infant boys are not even given a blood-clotting test prior to the cutting, so there are cases in which the bleeding disorder is discovered only on the operating table.
Baby Matthew was not a candidate for surgery however he had it anyway.
