== What the AAP says ==
{{AAP Policy expired}}
On August 27th of 2012 the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] (AAP), a medical trade association, presented a new Policy Statement on Circumcision and Technical Report stating that "the benefits outweigh the risks", yet when it comes to severe complications like the ones presented here, the technical report states that "Financial costs of care, emotional tolls, or the need for future corrective surgery (with the attendant anesthetic risks, family stress, and expense) are unknown".<ref>{{REFjournal
AAP policy requires AAP statements to expire after five years unless the statement is reaffirmed. ''The 2012 AAP statement expired in 2017 and has not been reaffirmed.'' The AAP now has ''no'' official policy regarding non-therapeutic male [[circumcision]]. Any statements on its website regarding circumicision refer to a previous, now expired, policy.
One family in New Jersey has filed a lawsuit in 2021 against the AAP that alleged fraud in the [httphttps://www.cirp.org/library/statements/aap/#a1989 1989 Circumcision Policy Statement].

=== Baby loses consciousness after circumcision, dies a week later ===
On May 30th, a baby became unconscious during a circumcision ceremony in [[Israel]]. Paramedics found the baby was not breathing and had no pulse. They performed resuscitation techniques and took the baby to the hospital in critical condition. The baby died on June 7th. The Chief Rabbinate of [[Israel ]] attributes the death to a "previously existing medical condition". According to Jewish Press, "After investigating the circumstances of the case, it was discovered that the circumcision had actually been performed flawlessly, and apparently baby choked during feeding".<ref>{{REFweb
