The bioethics of neonatal circumcision are sometimes controversial within practicing cultures. Male circumcision involves the excision of genital tissue from the human body. Some studies indicate that the foreskin and frenulum perform certain physiological functions among the men tested which would be destroyed by excision. Other studies indicate that some human males with a foreskin are at increased risk of certain diseases. (See medical analysis of circumcision)

abstract
  • The bioethics of neonatal circumcision are sometimes controversial within practicing cultures. Male circumcision involves the excision of genital tissue from the human body. Some studies indicate that the foreskin and frenulum perform certain physiological functions among the men tested which would be destroyed by excision. Other studies indicate that some human males with a foreskin are at increased risk of certain diseases. (See medical analysis of circumcision) Because the tissues, once excised, cannot be replaced, there are differing views regarding the appropriateness of their removal in a healthy child who is unable to provide consent. Non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision is sometimes performed exclusively for social or cultural reasons. Such practices and differing views are widespread in the United States.
