CIRCUMCISION DEATHS.

Circumcision Deaths.

Some babies die of complications of circumcision. There has been a need to assemble information concerning death from complications of circumcision in one convenient location. This page is designed to fill that need.

Deaths occur secondary to loss of blood or systemic infection from the circumcision wound.
A few deaths are reported in the medical literature. Other medical literature discusses the frequency of
those deaths.
A few deaths are reported in the popular press.

There is reason to believe that many deaths from circumcision are attributed to other causes. For example, if a baby were to die of meningitis that was contracted through the circumcision wound, the death may be attributed to meningitis while ignoring the fact that the baby would not have had meningitis if he had not been circumcised.

Circumcision originated before the dawn of history.
There was no knowledge of sanitation or the need for a sterile operating environment.
Jews have traditionally performed circumcision on the eighth day after birth for many thousands of years.

The medical literature was still reporting numerous deaths from ritual circumcision in the early twentieth century.

There must have been vast numbers of babies who died under those
conditions through the centuries. Jewish law allows parents who have
had three sons die from circumcision to leave the fourth son intact.

Doctors are highly motivated to conceal the true cause of circumcision death.
