AAP taskforce on circumcision

[beru]

Since I am drafting a letter to the CDC, I decided I should also write one to the AAP while I am at it. Does anyone have a list of the people on the AAP taskforce?

Perhaps, I can research it and bring it back here.

You may also call Dr. Peter Kilmarx at the CDC at [phone]. Ask for Dr.
Kilmarx and politely tell him why infant circumcision is a bad idea.

This is SO important - please, everybody, make sure your voice is heard - both the AAP and CDC need to hear from you!
