==Human rights and medical ethics issues==
Baby boys have rights under both international [[human rights]] law and domestic law from the instant they are born alive. Medical ethics requires medical doctors to respect those rights.
The ACOG practice of having a parent provide surrogate consent for a medically-unnecessary genital mutilation violates the boy's right to ''autonomy''.
