→Circumcision tragedy
Bruce Peter Reimer was one of two healthy identical twin boys born in Winnipeg, MB, [[Canada]] on 22 August 1965. His twin brother was Brian Reimer.
The two boys were erroneously diagnosed with [[phimosis]] at the age of six months although non-retractile [[foreskin]] is normal in boys. Although there were no valid medical indications for circumcisoincircumcision, the parents scheduled the twin boys for medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] surgery by Jean-Marie Huot, a general practitioner in Winnipeg.
