In short, [[circumcision]] is violence masquerading as medicine. It is unethical and unlawful, so physicians are not allowed to perform the operation, or to offer it to parents.
The book argues, building upon an article published with a medical expert in a Cornell law journal, that male genital cutting is also a complex multibillion dollar per year fraud dating back 150 years. Through various unfair and deceptive practices explained in the book, physicians take the foreskin that males value and have the right to keep. Physicians thereby enriched enrich themselves at the expense of boys and men whom they have a duty to and swore to protect since the practice began in 1870.
The book suggests that boys, men, and their parents can bring lawsuits against the physician and hospital to recover damages. Moreover, it argues that they have the right to prevail on most of those claims without a trial. Successful lawsuits will help compensate circumcised boys and men and their parents for their losses, and help speed the inevitable demise of this harmful ancient practice in the [[United States]] and worldwide.
