'''Marilyn Fayre Milos''', {{RN}}, ({{LifeData|1940-03-22}}), who has championed the rights of infants and children to bodily integrity and genital autonomy since witnessing circumcision as a nursing student in 1979, spoke at the [[WWDOGA]] in 2015. She has studied at the College of Marin.

* Co-founder, president, and Executive Director of the [http://www.nocirc.org National Organization of Circumcision Information Resources Centers ] (NOCIRC), working to end the non-therapeutic circumcision of baby boys in the USA.

Milos, who supports genital autonomy for all children, bases her arguments on the fact that the foreskin is a normal body structure with protective, immunological, and sexual functions, and that every child has an inherent right to bodily integrity and genital autonomy (personal choice).<ref>"Marilyn Milos and Donna Macris note that some have claimed that the foreskin provides a protective covering for the glans, making the [[uncircumcised ]] penis more sensitive during sexual activity."
