[[Doctors Opposing Circumcision]] (DOC) is an non-profit, educational organization. It does not earn money from performing non-therapeutic circumcision and is not biased by [[financial incentive]].DOC rejects all of the self-serving statements from the medical trade associations and endorses a statement by the non-profit [http://www.icgi.org/ Coalition for Genital Integrity] (ICGI). * {{REFdocument |title=Position Paper on Neonatal Circumcision and Genital Integrity |trans-title= |language=English |url=http://www.icgi.org/Downloads/ICGIoverview.pdf |archived= |contribution= |quote=Benefits to the infant boy from possessing an intact penis include: protection of the patient’s legal right to bodily integrity, conservation of the protective foreskin, avoidance of postsurgical complications, avoidance of persistent pain and trauma, shielding of the urethra from feces and E. coli, improved protection from ''Staphylococcus aureus'' infection in the newborn nursery (especially the increasingly present methicillin-resistant type), ease of breastfeeding initiation, with the multiple health and developmental benefits it provides, and provision of normal moisture and emollients to the mucosa of the glans penis and inner foreskin. Intact infants do not require care of a circumcision wound in the perinatal period, and do not have heightened pain responses. Financial benefits include earlier post-birth hospital discharge and a reduction of healthcare costs. |trans-quote= |quote-lang= |last=Bollinger |first=Dan |author-link= |last2=Travis |first2=John W. |author2-link= |last3=Peterson |first3=Ken W. |author3-link= |last4=Hill |first4=George |author4-link= |publisher=International Coalition for Genital Integrity. |location= |format=PDF |date=2007-09-28 |accessdate=2020-08-03}}
