CIRCUMCISION: THE UNIQUELY AMERICAN MEDICAL ENIGMA.

CIRCUMCISION:
THE UNIQUELY AMERICAN MEDICAL ENIGMA.



The continuing practice of routine neonatal non-religious circumcision represents an enigma, particularly in the United States.
 
About 80 percent of the world's population do not practice circumcision, nor have they ever done so.
 
Among the non-circumcising nations are Holland, Belgium, France, U.K., Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Scandinavia, Russia, China, Papua New Guinea and Japan.
 
People employing circumcision do so either for 'health' reasons or as a religious ritual practiced by Muslims, Jews, most black Africans, non-white Australians, and others.
