'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is an important but frequently overlooked parental duty for parents of a newborn [[intact]] boy in an American maternity hospital. Non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of newborn boys remains a common practice despite its unethical nature. Circumcision is a profit center for hospitals, so many will promote circumcision in various ways. It is easy for nursery attendant to make a mistake and bring an intact boy for an unwanted circumcision. Mansfield et al. (1995) report when a newborn is to be [[circumcised]], both mother and newborn remain in hospital an average of six hours longer which substantially increases revenue to the hospital,<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Mansfield |first= |init=CJ |author-link= |last2=Heuston |first2= |init2=WF |author2-link= |last3=Rudy |first3= |init3=M |author3-link= |etal=no |title=Neonatal circumcision: associated factors and length of hospital stay |trans-title= |language= |journal=J Fam Pract |location= |date=1995-10 |volume=41 |issue=4 |article= |pages=370-6 |url=https://www.cirp.org/library/procedure/mansfield/ |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=7561711 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=2023-05-22}}</ref> so hospitals encourage and promote circumcision regardless of the [[pain]], [[trauma]], and loss of tissue and function.
