== So who's biased? ==
It is very easy to make the claim that opponents of [[circumcision]] have an "anti-circumcision bias." When determining bias, it is important to do so considering the greater scope of medicine. Usually, medicine aims to cure or prevent disease placing primacy in the preservation of the integrity of the human body; surgery and/or the [[amputation ]] or extraction of body parts is usually reserved as a very last resort, when there is a medical condition present that necessitates it, and when all other methods of treatment have failed.
Circumcision "research" is unique in that no other "study" or "research" aims to vilify a particular, normally ocurring body part to necessitate, even require, its deliberate destruction. While most other research seeks to prevent or cure disease in order to avoid surgery, or the loss of a body part, circumcision "research" seeks to necessitate the [[amputation ]] of normal, healthy tissue.
The creators of this wiki believe that wanting to prevent disease while preserving the integrity of the human body is a perfectly acceptable, even preferred bias to have in medical research, if it could even be called that.
