The article critiques the high rate of infant circumcision in the U.S., where over a million healthy boys are routinely circumcised without medical justification. This practice contrasts sharply with countries like Greenland and Japan, where circumcision rates are extremely low. The piece emphasizes the unnecessary surgical procedure on healthy infants, highlighting the historical roots of such practices. It challenges readers to reconsider the ethics and rationale behind circumcision, which reflects an outdated custom rather than a modern medical necessity.
In America in 2025, circumcision is performed on newborn boys under local anesthetics and clamps, yet remains unnecessary for healthy infants.
The foreskin is a natural part of male anatomy, yet Americaâs circumcision rates are significantly higher than many nations where it is rarely done.
