== What the AAP says ==
{{Box|Boxtext=<big><b>All AAP policy statements expire after five years unless reaffirmed. This policy received overwhelming critical comment, so it was not reaffirmed. It Policy expired on 31 August 2017, however the AAP did not officially announce the expiration until November 2022. Currently, the AAP does ''not'' have a circumcision policy and has not had one since 2017.</b></big>}}
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
