Protection of intact newborns in hospital is an important but frequently overlooked parental duty for parents of a newborn intact boy in an American maternity hospital. Non-therapeutic circumcision of newborn boys remains a common practice despite its unethical nature. Circumcision is a profit center for hospitals, so many will promote circumcision in various ways. It is easy for nursery attendant to make a mistake and bring an intact boy for an unwanted circumcision. Mansfield et al. (1995) report when a newborn is to be circumcised, both mother and newborn remain in hospital an average of six hours longer which substantially increases revenue to the hospital,[1] so hospitals encourage and promote circumcision regardless of the pain, trauma, and loss of tissue and function.
