Issues with the 2016 circumcision position statement
The 2015 statement clearly was heavily influenced by the now thoroughly discredited and expired (2017) American Academy of Pediatrics 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement. Furthermore, it bizarrely includes a reference to a paper on urinary tract infection by circumcision promoters Brian J. Morris and Thomas E. Wiswell. The statement touts circumcision to prevent HIV infection, however a massive population study in Canada found that circumcision status has no effect on prevention of HIV infection.[1] The statement seems designed to promote non-therapeutic unnecessary child circumcision in Canada in violation of the child's Section 7 rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The CPS seems unwilling to recognise and protect the legal rights of its child patients.
