→Guidance from the Bioethics Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics
The desire to protect physician income derived from non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] induces an element of [[bias]] into the statements of the Bioethics Committee.
One should note that these guidances from the Bioethics Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics apply to the granting of "informed permission" by surrogates for the treatment of disease, and do <i>NOT</i> apply to non-therapeutic proceduressuch as medically non-indicated, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]].
