This volume is one of a series of publications based on symposia sponsored by the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC), all asserting that infant and child circumcision are harmful, anachronistic practices deserving to be relegated to the history of medical error. The authors, representing a broad spectrum of personal and professional backgrounds, hope that their diverse contributions will be applied to answering a single question: Aside from extremely rare medical emergencies, is there ever any justification for removing a normal and functionally essential part of an infant or child’s genital anatomy?
