Revision as of 07:59, 25 July 2022

The Circumcision Academy of Australia (former name: Circumcision Foundation of Australia) is an alleged medical organisation which "aims to promote reliable medical research information on circumcision as a public health issue and facilitate education on good clinical practice. In addition it supports parental and individual choice in obtaining medical or religious circumcision in the Australian community. It is not aligned with any medical body nor with any particular religious faith".[1] They state to be aligned with the Circumcision Academy of America which confirms that they don't see themselves as a medical body.

Circumfetish

In fact, they also openly advertise at the same time to be "the only Australian medical organisation devoted to male circumcision".[1] All their statements and even their "meta-studies" state that they are rather "the only Australian medical organization obsessed with male circumcision". The website references the circumcision fetish site circinfo.net and quotes many papers by Brian J. Morris which (of course) reference papers of himself over and over again, too. It is obvious that his circular conclusions are driven by his obsession for circumcision and require little further attention.

The Circumcision Academy of Australia seems to have been a failure in promoting circumcision in Australia, as the incidence of non-therapeutic infant circumcision has declined rapidly to only four percent of newborn boys.

They transparently and proudly list their "board" and members, many of whom are either themselves identified as circumfetishists or have a clear financial interest in circumcision, particularly as physicians specialized in circumcision. Morris repeatedly recruits alleged co-authors for his pseudo-scientific elaborations from this very dubious "pool of experts".

Perpetuating myths

What is shocking is that this organization still claims that neonatal circumcision does not require general anaesthesia[2], instead of correctly stating that neonatal circumcision is neither medically indicated nor can it be performed under general anaesthesia without endangering the life of the child. Thus, the CAA perpetuates the myth that newborns do not feel pain.

Board and members

IntactiWiki lists all known members[3] of this Brian Morris "enterprise" because chances are that many of them are only paper tigers or non-specialist supporters and pure circumcision fetishists like Morris himself. As the Intactivists of Australia and New Zealand already found out in 2012, the website is or at least was hosted on web servers of the University of Sydney, his former employer, while he was asked by them to remove his stuff from their servers in 2011 already. It seems to be obvious that Morris still is the motor and head of the CAA, too, and just hides from the frontline by declaring to be only their "Secretary". Effectively, he seems to maintain the website, gives his contact address, and designs all "studies" which he writes himself and collects "co-authors" for from his organization.

They have published a List of Possible Circumcisers which promotes most of their members as circumcisers "for medical and cultural reasons". The document is stored in the IntactiWiki pool at File:List of Possible Circumcisers - Circumcision Foundation of Australia.pdf.
