==Controversy==
The ''Canadian Medical Association Journal'' published letters in response to the article by LeBourdais on 1 October 1995. There was a letter by Robin Chorn, who alleged [[antisemitism]], another letter by Dr. Brian W. Gregory, who defended the practice of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision on medical grounds. This was followed by a response by LeBourdais and a letter of support by Dr. [[George C. Denniston]].<ref>{{REFjournal
