you are in a circ debate and people use pro-circ sites to quote their reasoning? Who can you refer to and quote from that are neutral? I have used the AAP, but is there anything else? Links appreciated!!

Thanks!

The Canadian Padiatric Society Caring for Kids...
Here it is http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/babies/Circumcision.htm

Also, on CIRP there is a list that summarizes all the medical organizations worldwide that have statements on circumicsion. Sometimes that makes a nice statement.

Well, the biggest thing in that site seemed to be penile cancer and std's. Ask if they would rather use condoms, or have part of their penis cut off? Also, men are more likely to die from breast cancer than penile cancer, so why not remove the breast tissue at birth? Men don't even need it! It doesn't mention deaths from circs, and men are not going to die from being intact so why even risk it? try these

http://www.cirp.org/news/cbc02-11-04a/ This one has more links

This is a good one, don't know if any of these are considered neutral though

This is a good site to discount the cancer thing, especially at the very end

I know! I am actually using those sites right now somewhere else. Someone posted an equally disgusting site, but the good thing is that several people are sticking up for me and only one person is fighting it! I think she must feel guilty that she already circed her 2 sons so she doesn't want to know what she did to them.

Yes, thankfully I also have a friend in my battle.

But the stupidity!!

Someone actually said that circumcising would "give his little buddy more personality" with a smilie face.

Sick!
