Moreover, it is associated with rare but avoidable harm and even occasional deaths.

• One of the most vile things I’ve learned recently, due to my posts about circumcision, is that the foreskin is then sold to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Yes, you paid to have your baby’s penis mutilated, and then the hospital made money selling that skin. You robbed your son of his choice, and they make big $ off both doing the procedure, and selling the skin. I bet that’s why they pretend it’s not a big deal. No one cares about you or your kid, just the $ they can make off you.
