* The ratio of [[intact]] fathers to [[circumcised]] fathers is changing toward more [[intact]] fathers and fewer [[circumcised ]]fathers. Boys who were born after the decline in circumcision started and who are [[intact]] are now reaching the age at which they start families and become fathers. [[Intact]] men usually do not want any son to be [[circumcised]], so they will usually not have a son [[circumcised]].<ref name="rediger-muller2013" /> This will cause a further decline in the incidence of [[circumcision]].
* The survey (2006) found that the incidence of circumcision on Prince Edward Island was 38 percent. A recent report indicated that non-therapeutic circumcision of boys is no longer available on P.E.I. because no practitioner will perform the non-therapeutic [[amputation]] of part of a boy's [[penis]].<ref>{{REFnews

Schröder et al. (2021) reviewed the experience of the [https://www.sickkids.ca Hospital for Sick Children] in Toronto with regard to circumcision-related emergency admissions between 2000 and 2013. They found that 19 previously healthy neonates had emergency admissions for circumcision complications. The records of patients who had died were searched to identify those who had been circumcised.
Four of the boys had post-circumcision [[bleeding]]. Four of the boys had [[glans ]] amputations. Two previously healthy boys died.<ref name="shroder2021">{{REFjournal
