Cariello, the obstetrician who [[circumcision|circumcised]] him as an infant and against [https://goodsamaritan.chsli.org/ Good Samaritan Hospital] of West Islip, New York.

He was represented by [[David J. Llewellyn]] of Atlanta, Georgia.
Stowell argued that the consent given by his mother was invalid because she was heavily drugged at the time. She would not otherwise have granted consent for [[circumcision]].
Due to statutes of limitation, such suits must be filed shortly after one reaches the age of majority.

|quote=This case highlights the travesty of infant circumcision, which seriously breaches the child’s right to bodily integrity and is incompatible with the doctor’s legal and ethical duties toward the child patient. Circumcising a child without medical necessity is criminal assault. All physicians and hospitals that currently circumcise males without medical justification would be wise to reconsider this practice.
