[[George Hill]] ({{LifeData|birth=1937-06-01|birthplace=Baton Rouge, Louisiana|birthcountry=USA|death=|deathplace=|deathcountry=}})  Hill early became aware of the value of the [[foreskin]]. When his son was born at [[Northside Hospital]] in February 1979, Hill refused to permit a circumcision, citing the position of the [[AAP]] on lack of medical indication,<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Thompson |first= |init=HC |author-link= |last2=King |first2= |init2=LR |author2-link= |last3=Knox |first3=E |init3= |author3-link= |last4=Korones |first4= |init4=SB |author4-link= |etal=no |title=Report of the Ad Hoc Task Force on Circumcision |trans-title= |language= |journal=Pediatrics |location= |date=1975-10 |volume=56 |issue=4 |pages=610-11 |url=https://www.cirp.org/library/statements/aap/#a197 |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=1174384 |accessdate=2024-10-09}}</ref> resulting in the displeasure of an OB-GYN who came early to the hospital hoping to collect a [[Financial incentive| fee]]. Hill is the Vice-President for Medical Science and Bioethics of [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.)]], and its prolific scribe. George joined [[DOC]] in 1997 and swiftly became a highly productive advocate. He has to his credit several published articles and letter-briefs questioning [[circumcision]]. He has kept up a lively correspondence with the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]], the [[CDC]], and state Medicaid agencies nationwide. He was the author of the original [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.)]] Genital Integrity Policy Statement,<ref>{{REFdocument
