Changes

The non-therapeutic circumcision industry in the United States produces more than $1 2 billion annually. If parents could not grant consent for non-therapeutic circumcision, then no one could grant consent for the non-therapeutic circumcision of a child, so the $1 billion annual business would collapse. The American medical trade associations, more than other nations, have been unwilling to recognize the child's right to bodily integrity, to security of the person, and the right to personal autonomy.
