'''"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists"''' (ACOG) is the name of the largest gynecological and obstetric medical society in the United States, based in Washington, DC, with over 55,000 members, over 90 percent of U.S. obstetrician-gynecologists<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Congress_of_Obstetricians_and_Gynecologists Wikipedia article]</ref>. ACOG is a nonprofit organization of women's health care physicians advocating highest standards of practice, continuing member education and public awareness of women's health care issues. Members of ACOG are specialists in women's bodies ("Our Specialty is Women’s Health") (see: Official website). Although a common practice, non-therapeutic male [[circumcision ]] by obstetricians is outside of the practice area of obstetricians.

ACOG has not recognized that baby boys are human persons who have a right to the integrity of their persons under international [[human rights]] law and domestic law. ACOG provides no information to parents on the nature and function of the [[foreskin]], which is amputated by circumcision. ACOG does not discuss the conflict of interest between the infant boy's rights to his bodily integrity, his [[foreskin]], his [[human rights]], and his well-being; and the obstetrician's interest in maximizing his income. This is a serious breach of medical ethicswhich requires complete disclosure of all material information before granting [[informed consent]].
