== Task Force on Circumcision 2012 ==
General revision.
}}</ref>
It appears that not a single individual on the Task Force was possessed of a [[foreskin]], a normal male body part, so had no personal knowledge of the foreskin, that is amputated by [[circumcision]], and could not have an opinion informed opinionby experience.
==2012 Circumcision Policy Statement== The Circumcision Policy Statement had two major goals, which were to create excuses to carry out medically unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcision of boys and to protect [[third-party payment]] for doing so. The statement was extremely slanted and biased in favor of non-therapeutic circumcision. The 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement received unrelenting critical comment from many sources, because of its significant omissions of the function of the foreskin, [[human rights]] issues, and many other things.<ref name="doc2013" /><ref name="frisch2013">{{REFjournal
