Canadian Paediatric Society: Add 2015 statement.
* [https://www.cirp.org/library/statements/cps3/ Canadian Paediatric Society (1989)]
This is the current very good 1996 CPS policy statementby lead author Dr. Eugene Outerbridge:
* {{REFjournal
}} (link to CPS website)
The CPS recommends recommended that "Circumcision of newborns should not be routinely (i.e.,in the absence of medical indication) performed." Since there are no medical indications for circumcision in the newborn period, in effect, the CPS is saying that newborn circumcisions should not be performed. The CPS updated its current circumcision statement in 2015. Sadly, it appears to have been influenced by the now discredited 2012 AAP statement. * {{REFjournal |last=Sorokin |first=S.
