Additional source of Medical Trade Association's statements on circumcision - Old-guy - 07-26-2026
These statements are issued by medical trade associations. Medical trade associations exist to advance the business, legal, political, and professional interests of their fellows. Such circumcision statements tend to be biased in favor of advancing the interests of the fellows of the organization.
The Circumcision Reference Library was an early attempt to get medical information regarding circumcision onto the then new Internet. It stopped being updated about 2013, so the latest information is not available in the Circumcision Reference Library.
The text of many medical trade association statements published prior to 2013 are available and are arranged by nation and date of publication. Please see:
Circumcision: Medical Organization Official Policy Statements
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the British Medical Association have vacated their previous position statements on the circumcision of male children and now have NO official position on the practice.

Still, business wise, circumcision is a great industry, and thats why, logically, there should be more people supporting it, a lot of organisations are against it, so still, its a win for us Intactivists for now

I don't consider it a win because there's no traction from these supposed opposers

it is slow, but not 0, South Africa bans Non-Religious Circumcision on children, so any parent can't circumcise their child if they don't below to the religious groups, but still, we yet to go a long way, and we need to keep hope so that the Intactivism can continue, we will win.
