==Background==
The AAP published its last circumcision policy statement on 1 September 2012. It was designed to promote the [[circumcision industry ]] from which many pediatricians, obstetricians, and family doctors derive substantial income. The statement was egregiously inaccurate and biased, so it received huge amounts of criticism. It was a total embarrassment to a professional organization so it was allowed to expire without being affirmed after 5 years (31 August 2017). In spite of its expired status and admittedly misleading information, the AAP continues to maintain the statement on its website,<ref>https://en.intactiwiki.org/wiki/Template:REFweb</ref> apparently to promote the business of circumcision for its members' increased [[Financial incentive| profit]].<ref>{{REFweb
